Hi! You don't actually need to graph this nor find the intersection in order to know the answer. Through the process of elimination we can rule out incorrect answers.
Firstly, we express both equations with y on the left hand side since all choices are in that form:


Knowing these, we can immediately rule out options a, c, and d since they have the wrong equations. This will leave us with option b.
You can verify if the point of intersection provided in option b is true by plugging in the values of x and y to both equations (you will find that it is indeed true).
ANSWER: b. <span>picture of coordinate plane with line y equals negative 2x minus 1 and line y equals negative 3 halves x minus 3. They intersect at 4, negative 9.</span>
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3y=136) + (18x+3y=288) We collect both processes to make y's disappear
19x=-152
x=-8
Answer:
x+20
Step-by-step explanation:
As we can see n the diagram, there are parallel traversals and one line, and the two angles given are same-side interior angles. We know that when there is parallel traversal, and we have same side interiors, the sum of the measure of the two angles are supplementary. Supplementary means 180 degrees, or a straight line.
So we plug everything in and we have 4x+5x=180 degrees
4x+5x=9x, so 9x=180
We divide by 9 on both sides to get the value of x, which is 20
Hope it helps!
The sixth graders collected $250 of their $300 goal. The seventh graders collected $250 of thier $450 goal.
Sixth Graders:
$250 / $300
Reduce: $25 / $30 = 5/6
Seventh Graders:
$250 / $450
Reduce: $25 / $45 = 5/9
