Answer:

(x, y) = (8, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute:

3(-4y) + 2y = 20

-12y + 2y = 20

-10y = 20

y = -2

x = -4(-2) = 8

Martine’s town is building a volleyball court based on a scale drawing that is 40cm to 80cm and uses the scale 1cm:22.5cm write

never [62]

Answer:

$y=22.5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The scale drawing is

$\frac{1}{22.5}\frac{cm}{cm}$

we know that

Using proportion find out the actual dimensions of the volleyball court

Let

x -----> drawing court lengths in cm

y ----> court lengths in cm

For x=40 cm

$\frac{1}{22.5}\frac{cm}{cm}=\frac{40}{y}\frac{cm}{cm}\\\\y=40*22.5\\\\y=900\ cm$

For x=80 cm

$\frac{1}{22.5}\frac{cm}{cm}=\frac{80}{y}\frac{cm}{cm}\\\\y=80*22.5\\\\y=1,800\ cm$

Find the equation for the proportional relation ship between drawing court lengths x in centimeters and court lengths in y centimeters

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

For x=40 cm, y=900

substitute

$k=y/x$ -----> $k=900/40=22.5$

The equation is

$y=22.5x$

Solving a system of linear equations using the substitution method. <br> 5x+4y=-26<br> 5-x=-6y

yan [13]

Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5

sub

5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back

x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4

(-4,-3/2) is solution
