Answer:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

3x+4y=29;6x+5y=43

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(3x+4y=29)

1(6x+5y=43)

Becomes:

−6x−8y=−58

6x+5y=43

Add these equations to eliminate x:

−3y=−15

Then solve−3y=−15for y:

−3y=−15

−3y −3 = −15

−3

(Divide both sides by -3)

y=5

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

3x+4y=29

Substitute5foryin3x+4y=29:

3x+(4)(5)=29

3x+20=29(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+20+−20=29+−20(Add -20 to both sides)

3x=9

3x 3 = 9

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=3

Answer:

x=3 and y=5

Answer:

$t=\frac{b}{b+a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$t+\frac{at}{b}=1$

Solve for t

That means ----> Isolate the variable t

Multiply by b both sides to remove the fraction

$bt+at=b$

Factor the variable t in the left side

$t[b+a]=b$

Divide by (b+a) both sides

$t=\frac{b}{b+a}$

HELP ME HELP ME please !!! 10 points

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{3}{2}$

The y-intercept is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the equation that passes through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line whose rule is $m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

b is the y-intercept, you can find it by substituting x, y in the equation by (x1, y1) OR (x2, y2)

Let us solve the question:

Choose any two-point from the table

∵ The line passes through the points (2, 12) and (4, 15)

∴ x1 = 2 and x2 = 4

∴ y1 = 12 and y2 = 15

→ Use the rule of m to find it

∵ $m=\frac{15-12}{4-2}=\frac{3}{2}$

∴ m = $\frac{3}{2}$

∴ The slope is $\frac{3}{2}$

→ Substitute its value in the form of the equation above

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$ x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y by x1 and y1

∴ 12 = $\frac{3}{2}$ (2) + b

∴ 12 = 3 + b

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ 12 -3 = 3 - 3 + b

∴ 9 = b

∴ The y-intercept is 9
