Answer:
(5, 3 ) and (- 
, - 10 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - y = 7 → (1)
xy = 15 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x , that is
y = 2x - 7 → (3)
Substitute y = 2x - 7 into (2)
x(2x - 7) = 15
2x² - 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
2x² - 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(2x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y
x = 5 : y = 2(5) - 7 = 10 - 7 = 3 ⇒ (5, 3 )
x = - : y = 2(- ) - 7 = - 3 - 7 = - 10 ⇒ (- , - 10 )
Answer
-3m + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
A coefficient is a number that goes in front of the variable, so -3 would go in front of m. A constant is just a number on it's own, so it would be +17
Answer:
Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.
Step-by-step explanation
3
* 33 = 110 points earned
* 20 = 10 points lost
110-10 = 100
Nathan earned 100 points. he lost the trivia game by 5 points.
A constant because it a number
Answer
No. The amounts of change are the same, but the original amounts are different. The ratio for the percent increase from 50 to 70 is 20/50, or 40%. The ratio for the percent decrease from 70 to 50 is 20/70, or about 29%.
