Answer:

x=-1

y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x and y in 2x+3y=-20 start by substituting y for 6x

2x+3(6x)=-20 simplify the left side by multiplying 3 and 6x then add the product to 2x

20x=-20 now divide 20 on both sides

x=-1

now that you know what x is, you can solve for y

2x+3y=-20 substitute x for -1

2(-1)+3y=-20 now simplify by multiplying 2 and -1

-2+3y=-20 add -2 on both sides

3y=-18 now divide 3 on both sides

y=-6

Answer:

(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug 6x for y into the bottom equation:

2x+3(6x)= -20

2x+18x= -20

20= -20

x= -1

Substitute -1 for x in the equation for y:

y=6(-1)

y=-6

I hope I could help :)

You would multiply the cups of flour by 3 and the cups of water by 3. which would give you 9 cups of flour and 6 cups of water. the ratio is 1.5 cups of flour to 1 cup of water.

Point m is the midpoint of kL. M(1,-1) and L(8,-7. What are the coordinates of point k?

Phoenix [80]

Answer: (-6, 5)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use the Midpoint Formula: $\dfrac{(x_k, y_k)+(x_L,y_L)}{2}=(x_m, y_m)$

Separate the x's and y's and solve them individually:

$\dfrac{x_k+x_L}{2}=x_m\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad\dfrac{y_k+y_L}{2}=y_m\\\\\\\dfrac{x_k+8}{2}=1\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \dfrac{y_k-7}{2}=-1\\\\\\x_k+8=2\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k-7=-2\\\\\\x_k\quad =-6 \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad y_k\qquad =5$

So, the k-coordinate is (-6, 5)

Find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of 16 and 20. The prime factorizations of each number are given.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

GCF 4, LCM 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both 16 and 20 have two 2s as factor, their greatest common factor is 4.

The LCM is found by multiplying all of the remaining factors by the LCM:

16 still has (2 x 2), 20 still has (5), times the GCF (4) so 2 x 2 x 5 x 4 = 80.
