Answer:(2,0) x=2,y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

−x+y=−2;2x−3y=4

Multiply the first equation by 2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

2(−x+y=−2)

1(2x−3y=4)

Becomes:

−2x+2y=−4

2x−3y=4

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−y=0

Then solve−y=0 for y:

−y=0

−y/−1 =0/−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

y=0

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

−x+y=−2

Substitute0foryin−x+y=−2:

−x+0=−2

−x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−x/−1 = −2/−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x=2

How can an expression written in either radical form or rational exponent form be rewritten to fit the other form?
Yuri [45]
When dealing with radicals and exponents, one must realize that fractional exponents deals directly with radicals. In that sense, sqrt(x) = x^1/2
Now, how to go about doing this: 

In a fractional exponent, the numerator represents the actual exponent of the number. So, for x^2/3, the x is being squared. 

For the denominator, that deals with the radical. The index, to be exact. The index describes what KIND of radical (or root) is being taken: square, cube, fourth, fifth, and so on. So, for our example x^2/3, x is squared, and that quantity is under a cube root (or a radical with a 3). Here are some more examples to help you understand a bit more:
x^6/5 = Fifth root of x^6
x^3/1 = x^3
^^^Exponential fractions still follow the same rules of simplifying, so...
x^2/4 = x^1/2 = sqrt(x)

Hope this helps!

Which is the equation of a line parallel to the line with the equation y= 1/4x +2
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Any line with slope 1/4 like y=1/4x -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines never cross and therefore have the same exact slope. Since slope intercept form is y=mx+b and m is slope, then y=1/4x+2 has a slope of 1/4. Any line with a slope of 1/4 will be parallel. Example: y=1/4x - 5

A man sold his house for $125,000. After paying the broker his commission, the man received $116,875. What was the broker’s comm
Dennis_Churaev [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

6.5%

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

We know that a man sold his house for $125,000 and received $116,875 after paying the broker his commission.

We need to find the percentage of the broker's commission.

125000 - 116875 = 8125

Calculating this amount as the percentage of the total amount to find the broker's commission percentage.

\frac { 8125 } { 125000 } \times 100

0.065 \times 100

6.5%
