Step-by-step explanation:

You're asking why

{- 2(x + 3y) = 18} = y =  - 3 -  \frac{x}{3}

let's transpose the first equation for y

-2x-6y=18

-6y=18+2x

6y=-18-2x

y=-18/6-2x/6

y=-3-⅓x as required

For this I would isolate y from the beginning.

Heres how I would solve it:

-2(x + 3y) = 18 --> 18 divided by (-2) is (-9), so (x + 3y) must be equal to (-9)

x + 3y = -9 --> now I would begin to isolate for y:

3y = -9 -x

y =  (-9-x) ÷ 3 --> dividing each term by 3 would give me:

y = -3 - x/3 --> x stays the same because it doesn't have a definite answer.

Hope this helps (〃▽〃)

The weight of an apple is 150g, rounded to the nearest 5g. what is the lower bound and upper bound?
Aneli [31]

The lower bound is 147.5 and the upper bound is 152.5.

Given the weight of an apple 150 g rounded to the nearest 5g.

We have to find lower bound and upper bound.

Lower bound is an element less than or equal to all the elements in a given set.

Upper bound is an element greater than all the elements in a given set.

Lower bound= Number 1- (Number nearest to  which number 1 is rounded)/2

Upper bound=Number 1+(number nearest to which number 1 is rounded)/2

Weight of an apple =150 g

Lower bound=150-5/2

=150-2.5

=147.5

Upper bound=150+5/2

=150+2.5

=152.5

Hence the lower bound is 147.5 and upper bound is 152.5.

A car is moving 70 miles per hour. how far does it travel in 16 seconds
Serjik [45]

Answer:
