Solve by canceling -5x+8y=-4 6x-8y=-12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]2 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+8y=-4

6x-8y=-12   8y and 8x cancel out

         x=-16

To solve for y, substitute x=-16 back into the first equation

-5(-16)+8y=-4

    80+8y=-4

          8y=-84

            y=-10.5

After simplifying, how many terms does the expression 4y-6+y2-9 contain?​
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are three terms in the simplified expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the expression and have to count the number of terms that the expression has.

The expression is 4y - 6 + y² - 9

= 4y + y² - 6 - 9

= y² + 4y - 15

Therefore, there are three terms in the simplified expression, one for y² term, another is y term and the constant term. (Answer)

Which equation can be used to represent six added to twice the sum of a numbee and four is equal to one half of the difference o
Ronch [10]

Answer:  6 + 2 (x+4) =   \frac{3}{2}(3-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x , then :

six added to twice the sum of a number and four means :

6 + 2 (x+4)

one half of the difference of three and the number means :

\frac{3}{2}(3-x)

combining the two , we have

6 + 2 (x+4) = \frac{3}{2}(3-x)

Find the equation of the line passing through point (4,2) and perpendicular to AB
Setler [38]

Answer:

a. -⅓

b. 3

c. y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Gradient of line AB:

A(1, 3), B(7, 1)

Gradient = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 3}{7 - 1} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3}

Gradient (m) = -⅓

b. The of the line that is perpendicular to line AB would be the negative reciprocal of the gradient of line AB.

Thus, the negative reciprocal of -⅓ = 3

Gradient of the line perpendicular to line AB = 3

c. Equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is perpendicular to line AB:

We can write the equation using the point-slope form equation, y - b = m(x - a), where,

(a, b) represents a point on the line, and,

m = gradient/slope

We know that the gradient/slope (m) = 3

Also, a point, (a, b) = (4, 2).

Therefore, substitute a = 4, b = 2, and m = 3 into y - b = m(x - a)

Thus:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

y - 2 = 3x - 12

Add 2 to both sides

y = 3x - 12 + 2

y = 3x - 10

when you are dividing two decimals how can you check whether you have divided the decimals correctly?
Mice21 [21]

Dividing two decimals means that we need to make the following math operation:

\frac{p}{q} \\ \\ where \ p \ and \ q \ are \ two \ decimals

According to the following definition:

If \ p \ and \ d \ are \ two \ real \ numbers \ (two \ decimals) \ it \ is \ true \ that:\\ \\  p=d\times q+r \\ \\ where:\\ \\ p:Dividend \\ d:Divisor \\q:Quotient \\ r:Reminder


We can prove that our result is correct by multiplying the divisor by the quotient plus the reminder and verifying that this result matches the dividend. Also, we can use a calculator to prove that.
