What would you do to solve the system?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Molodets [167]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

To decide whether to add or subtract,  determine if the values of the  coefficients are the same or opposites:

. If the values are the same, subtract the  equations.

• If the values are opposites or additive  inverses, add the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Required

How to solve

Options (1) and (2) are incorrect because none of the options eliminate x or y.

For option (3),

- Check for the coefficients of x and y

- If they are the same (sign and value), then subtract; otherwise add

For instance:

12x = 48 - 8y

10x + 8y = 38

Rewrite the second equation

12x = 48 - 8y

10x = 38 - 8y

The coefficient of y are the same, so we subtract;

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y -(-8y)

12x - 10x = 48 - 38 -8y +8y

2x = 10

x= 5

<em>See that y has been eliminated</em>

Find the equation of a line that passes through (5,-3) and is perpendicular to y = x.
VashaNatasha [74]
We know the slope is -1, because perpendicular line's slopes are always the negative reciprocal. We plug (5, -3) in to get:
-3 = -5 + b
b = 2
So we get C. y = -x + 2.

Which of the relations below is not a function?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Relations B and E do not represent the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

If we closely observe relation B, and E i.e.

  • B) {(3,4), (4,5), (3,6). (6,7)}
  • E) {(3,4), (4,5), (4,6)}

Relation 'B' IS NOT A FUNCTION

Relation B has duplicated or repeated inputs i.e. x = 3 appears twice times. we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Thus, relation B is NOT a function.

Relation 'E' IS NOT A FUNCTION

Relation E has duplicated or repeated inputs i.e. x = 4 appears twice times. we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Thus, relation B is NOT a function.

Therefore, relations B and E do not represent the function.

Rosetta drove her car 160 miles in 2 hours. Which of the following correctly expresses her rate as a ratio?
svp [43]

Rosetta drove her car 80 miles in one hour. Assuming that you ate talking about miles per hour you decide 160÷2=80 therefore, she drove 80 miles per hour (80/mph)

8.1 liters to meters
Wittaler [7]

The US equivalent of "liters to meters" would be something like
"quarts to yards", which is equally meaningless.

Liters and meters don't even measure the same thing.  Liters describe
volume, whereas meters describe length or distance.    They don't convert
to each other .

If volume units could be converted to length units, then you (or somebody
with a slightly better grasp of his math) would be able to figure out how many
inches of gas he put into his car last week, and the cost of a foot of milk.
