Answer:

17 x + 7 y = 20

y =20x - 42

17 x + 7(20x - 42) = 20

17x + 140x - 294 = 20

157 x = 20 + 294

157x ÷ 157 = 314 ÷ 157

x = 2

y = 20x - 42 

y = 20 (2) - 42

y = 40 - 42

y = -2

there for x = 2 and y = -2 is the solution

Answer:

a. 2/5; reduction

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears that C is the center of dilation, so C' and C are coincident. The scale factor is ...

P'C'/PC = 4/10 = 2/5 . . . scale factor

The scale factor is less than 1, so the dilation is a reduction in size.

5 Carla packs 4 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, and 3 skirts for her vacation.

ratelena [41]

Answer:

D 3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

she packs 3 skirts and 4 pants so it's 3:4. The wording of the question is important (skirts to pants) so you have to put the number of skirts first before pants which is why it IS NOT A.

The table below contains values for a linear relationship. One value from the table is missing.

kifflom [539]

The missing value is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First, we need to determine the equation relating the x to the y values in the table. y is the dependent value whereas x is the independent value i.e. the value of y depends on the value of x.

Step 2; If we multiply the value of x with -2 and add the resulting answer with 1 we get the value of y.

y = -2x + 1 is the equation that relates the values in the table.

Step 3; Now we substitute the values in the equation

For x = 3, y = -2(3) + 1 = -6 + 1 = -5,

For x = -1, y = -2(-1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3,

For x = 0, y = -2(0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1,

For x = 2, y = -2(2) + 1 = -4 + 1 = -3,

For x = 4, y = -2(4) + 1 = -8 + 1 = -7,

For x = 7, y = -2(7) + 1 = -14 + 1 = -13.

So the value of y when x = 2 is -3.
