Answer: x = 2

Concept:

There are three general ways to solve systems of equations:

  1. Elimination: Eliminating a variable by addition or subtraction when all equations have the variable.
  2. Substitution: Combining two equations when one variable is isolated into one side.
  3. Graphing: Find the intersection point of equations to get the solution.

Here, we are going to use the method of <u>substitution </u>because [y] is isolated onto the left-hand side.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

y = 7x - 9

y = 3x - 1

<u>Combine both equations by substitution</u>

7x - 9 = 3x - 1

<u>Subtract 3x on both sides</u>

7x - 9 - 3x = 3x - 1 - 3x

4x - 9 = -1

<u>Add 9 on both sides</u>

4x - 9 + 9 = -1 + 9

4x = 8

<u>Divide 4 on both sides</u>

4x / 4 = 8 / 4

\boxed{x=2}

Hope this helps!! :)

You are traveling in a car. Your speed is 40 miles per hour. What is your speed in feet per minute?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

3520.176 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must convert 40 miles per hour (mph) to miles per minute (mpm):

40 mph = 40 miles/hour / 60 minutes/hour = 0.6667 miles per minute

Next, we convert miles per minute to feet per minute by multiplying 5280 ft per mile:

0.6667 mpm = 0.6667 miles/minute * 5280 ft/mile = 3520.176 feet per minute

Which of the following best describes how the y values are changing over each interval?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

y=ax+b

a=-0.6020457867

b=-2.256697516   <------- There is your value for b, which is the answer to the problem.

You can use these values for a and b to generate an equation in slope-intercept form, which you can then enter under Y= and view the graph.
