Focus on the first equation. The ordered pair (-4,12) means that x = -4 and y = 12. Keep in mind that x always comes first. Think alphabetical order.

What we do is simply replace every x with -4 and replace every y with 12. Let's see what happens

2x+y = 5
2*x+y = 5
2*(-4) + 12 = 5
-8 + 12 = 5
4 = 5

The last equation, 4 = 5, is FALSE. So because we have a false equation, it means that 2x+y = 5 is also false when (x,y) = (-4,12)

There is no way that (-4,12) is the solution to this system. It fails to satisfy the first equation.

Equation 1)  2x + y = 5
Equation 2)  -5x - 2y = -6

We're trying to elminate (y) so that we could get (x) by itself, so to do so, we have to multiply ALL of equation 1 by 2, so that both equations have (2y) in them.

Equation 1)  2(2x + y = 5)

Equation 1)  4x+2y=10
 Equation 2) -5x-2y=-6

Add equations together.

-x=4

x=-4

Plug in (x) into equation 1.

2(-4)-2y=-6

Simplify.

-8-2y=-6

Add 8 to both sides.

-2y=2

Divide both sides by -2.

y=1

(-4, 1)

So, (-4, 12) is NOT the correct answer.

~Hope I helped!~

Personal Statement
leonid [27]

Well, as it says, your first statement needs to explain what interests you about the program.

If you feel you need multiple paragraphs, let the first be an introduction, around 4 or 5 sentences. Include, possibly what pushed you to apply for this program, what you're looking forward to, and a reason for them to hire you. You can add a thesis statement of sorts if that helps (a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of a paper). The first paragraph can be short, it doesn't need to be too in-depth. You can talk more about that later in your statement.

The body paragraphs must include your goals and extracurricular interests (what courses would you like to take and why?).

As it states, you must list your GPA, what interests you about the Major and/or Minor/Workshop courses, and what you can contribute (you can build off of what you said in your first paragraph here).

It is very important to share additional details you think are important, such as accomplishments you are proud of, for example.

A conclusion would be nice, a short and sweet wrap-up of your overall statement (not too long).

Remember, the name of the game is to sound confident and prove to them that you are in fact a good fit for the program! Good luck! Stay focused ^^

Answer:

  5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-7-(-2))² +(-7-3)²) = √((-5)² +(-10)²) = √(25 +100)

  d = √125 = √(25·5)

  d = 5√5 . . . . distance between the points

The area of the city of Vancouver is 115 km^2. if the shape of Vancouver is approximately a square, how wide is the city of Vanc
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The wide of the city is 10.7km

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we first have to know the formula to calculate the area of ​​a square

a = area = 115 km²

s = side

a = s * s

now we replace with the known values

115 km² = s * s

115 km² = s²

√(115 km²) = s

10.724km = s

Round to the nearest tenth

s = 10.724km = 10.7km

The wide of the city is 10.7km
