  • Solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution.

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

We can use the substitution method to solve linear equations of this form. Let's solve for m & n.

\left. \begin{array}  { l  }  { 2 m + n = 2 } \\ { 3 m - 2 n = 3 } \end{array} \right.

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

2m+n=2, \: 3m-2n=3

Choose one of the equations and solve it for m by isolating m on the left-hand side of the equal sign.

2m+n=2

Subtract n from both sides of the equation.

2m=-n+2

Divide both sides by 2.

m=\frac{1}{2}\left(-n+2\right)  \\

Multiply 1/2 times -n+2.

m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1  \\

Substitute -\frac{n}{2}+1\\ for m in the other equation, 3m-2n=3.

3\left(-\frac{1}{2}n+1\right)-2n=3  \\

Multiply 3 times -\frac{n}{2}+1\\.

-\frac{3}{2}n+3-2n=3  \\

Add -\frac{3n}{2}\\ to -2n.

-\frac{7}{2}n+3=3  \\

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

-\frac{7}{2}n=0  \\

Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{7}{2}\\, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

\large \underline{\underline{ \bf \: n=0 }}

Substitute 0 for n in m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1\\. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for m directly.

\large \underline{ \underline{\bf \: m=1 }}

The system is now solved.

\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: m=1, \: n=0 }}

arsen [322]

Answer:

The slope is Negative three-halves and contains the point (0, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3,-4)(3,0)

M= -4/-6 = 2/3

⊥M = -3/2

0 = 2/3(3) + B

Solve -1/8y ≤ 34. then graph the solution.
motikmotik

Answer:

Multiply each term in −1/8y≤34 by −8. When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

−1/8y x −8 ≥ 34 x −8 Simplify −1/8y x −8

y ≥ 34 x −8

Multiply 34 by −8.

y≥−272

of 320 consumers polled, some purchase blu-ray movies, some only purchase movies on dvd, and some do both. if 300 people polled
Helga [31]

Answer:

20 people only buy dvds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two groups in this problem. One group of people that buys dvds and one that buys blu rays. The total amount of people who buy blu rays is 300, but there's an intersection between the groups and the size of this is 280 people who actually buy both. In order to find out how many people only buy DVDs we first need to figure out how many only buy blu-rays. That is:

people who only buy blu rays = people who buy blu rays - people who buys blu rays and dvds

people who only buy blu rays = 300 - 280 = 20

We can now calculate the amount of people who only buy dvds and that is:

people who only buy dvds =total amount of people - ( people who only buy blu rays + people who buy both)

people who only buy dvds = 320 - (20 + 280) = 320 - 300 = 20 people
