Answer: Choice C) -11

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x.
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)

Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11

If v = 35 , a = 4 , t = 5 and v = u + a t , evaluate u .

Llana [10]

v = u + at

=> 35 = u + (4×5)

=> 35 = u + 20

=> 35 - 20 = u

=> 15 = u

Which point lies on the circle represented by the equation (x+5) + (y-9) = 8

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

(-5,9+√8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways in which you can find a point that lies in the circle. One of them is to do y the subject of the formula, and another one is to determine the center of the circumference, and with the information of the radius, you can sum this value upward or downward.

the general equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
