An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution to a system of equations if it makes all the equations true.
Let's check whether (–1, 5) makes the equations true.
Plugging –1 in the first equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 + 5 = 4: TRUE
Plugging –1 in the second equation for x and 5 in for y, we get
–1 – 5 = –6: TRUE
Since it makes both the equations true, it's a solution to the system of equations. So the answer choice is D, the 4th one.
We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b
To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.
7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5
So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.
Answer:
459
Step-by-step explanation:
First line:
clock showing 9 o'clock + clock showing 9 o'clock + clock showing 3 o'clock = 9 + 9 + 3 = 21
Second line:
The calculators look exactly the same.
3 * calculators = 30
1 calculator = 10
Third line:
1 bulb + 1 bulb - 1 bulb = 15
Since 1 bulb - 1 bulb = 0, we have 1 bulb + 0 = 15, or
1 bulb = 15
Last line:
Clock showing 9 o'clock = 9
Calculator = 10
3 bulbs = 3 * 15 = 45
Total = 9 + 10 * 45 = 9 + 450 = 459
Answer:
C. $80
Step-by-step explanation:
A. $70
B. $65
C. $80
D. $75
When he pays $70 monthly
Number of months = $2330 / $70
= 33.3 months
When he pays $65 monthly
Number of months = $2330 / $65
= 35.9 months
When he pays $80 monthly
Number of months = $2330 / $80
= 29.1 months
When he pays $75 monthly
Number of months = $2330 / $75
= 31.1 months
The monthly amounts that will allow Arthur to pay off his balance the fastest is $80 per month
