Hello There!

<u>The answer is...</u>

<u />

<u />a =-\frac{5}{12}<u />

<u />

HERE'S A EXPLAINANTION!

Add \frac{1}{5} both sides...

-\frac{1}{5} -\frac{4}{5}a+\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{15} +\frac{1}{5}

Simplify:

-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1}{3}

Multiply 5 by both sides

5(-\frac{4}{5}a=\frac{1 . 5}{3}  )

Simplify again:

-4a=\frac{5}{3}

Divide -4 by both sides:

\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{5/3}{4}

Simplify again..:

a =-\frac{5}{12}

Hopefully, this helps you!!

Solve the system using the substituiton method<br> branliest offered<br> 3x-7y=10<br> x-4y=5
fiasKO [112]
Hi there!

To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.

Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y

3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1

Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:

y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1

So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.

Hope this helps!

Which set is a function?
Sonja [21]
B, short explanation remember the sets are set up like (x,y) in a set there should be no matching x points so if it matches it's not a function :)

long explanation: these are (x,y) sets {(0,3), (3,0), (0,4), (4,0)} the first choice shows that there are two X solutions <span>if they are equal to 0 (0,3) (0,4) so this cant be a function.

second choice</span><span> {(0,2), (2,0), (4,6), (6,4)} does not have two X solutions so this is a function
third choice</span>{(2,6), (3,6), (4,6), (2,0)} has two X solutions if x is equal to 2
and the last choice <span>{(6,2), (2,0), (4,6), (6,4)} has two X solutions if x is equal to 6
hope i helped! if i did please give me brainlest :)

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (−2, 4)?
GrogVix [38]
First find the slope of the given line like this:
5x + 2y = 12\\2y=-5x+12\\y=\frac{-5}{2}x+6
If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:
y=\frac{-5}{2}x+a and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
4=\frac{-5}{2}(-2)+a 
4=5+a 
a=4-5=-1 
The equation of the line is then the following:
y=\frac{-5}{2}x-1.
