Answer:

x = 5, y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equations:</u>

  • x + 2y = 1
  • 3x - y = 17​

<u>From the first equation we get:</u>

  • x = 1 -2y

<u>Substitute x in the second equation, find y:</u>

  • 3x - y = 17
  • 3*(1-2y) - y = 17
  • 3 - 6y - y = 17
  • -7y = 17 - 3
  • -7y = 14
  • y = -14/7
  • y = -2

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 1 - 2y
  • x = 1 - 2*(-2)
  • x = 1 + 4
  • x = 5

The price of milk increased from $3.25 to $3.75. What is the percent of change for the price of milk to the nearest tenth? Show
nikitadnepr [17]
Percent = part/whole

It wants you to find the % of change so it's 3.25 / 3.75
And that comes out to be 0.86 (with the 6 repeating)
So you move the decimal over 2 places to find the percent.
And then it's 1 - Ans

The answer is 13.33%

Ali simplifies the expression 9y+y to 9y2. Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements below to explain why Ali's solutio
maxonik [38]

Ali's solution is incorrect.

Ali had to add both the terms and should get 10y answer, and not multiply both terms and get answer 9y^2 which is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali simplifies the expression 9y+y to 9y2. We need to identify if Ali's solution is correct or incorrect.

Ali's solution is incorrect.

Reason:

We are given the expression: 9y+y

When we add two like terms ( terms having the same variable and exponent), we add the coefficients of both like terms.

In our case 9y+y = 10y

Whereas Ali has done multiplication of both terms and not addition.

In multiplication we add the exponents of the same variables i.e 9y+y = 9y^2

So, Ali had to add both the terms and should get 10y answer, and not multiply both terms and get answer 9y^2 which is wrong.
