2x + y = 20
-5y = -6x + 12
To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.
Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:
2x + y = 20 Subtract 2x on both sides
y = 20 - 2x
-5y = -6x + 12 (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)
-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12 Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)
-100 + 10x = -6x +12 Add 100 on both sides
10x = -6x + 112 Add 6x on both sides
16x = 112 Divide 16 on both sides
x = 7
Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:
2x + y = 20
2(7) + y = 20
14 + y = 20 Subtract 14 on both sides
y = 6
-5y = -6x + 12
-5y = -6(7) + 12
-5y = -42 + 12
-5y = -30 Divide -5 on both sides
y = 6
x = 7, y = 6
First of all we can rule out that the slope is 10. The coefficient before the x term is not 10 so the answer is not a.
Following on what I said for option a, option b is correct as the coefficient before the x term is -7/8. Therefore the answer is B.
The answer is not C as when x = 0, y is not 0. This means the line does not pass through the origin (0,0)
Option D is not true aswell. When x = 1, y= 9.125. When x= 2, y= 8.25. When x=3, y= 7.375. X is increasing whereas y is decreasing. Therefore option D is ruled out.
The answer is option B.
I hope this has helped you.
Please mark as brainliest if you are happy with this explanation. Have a great day!
Ashley will get $15 because it like 3X5=15
Answer: 1. 12 2. 120
Step-by-step explanation:
1. so basically 9/6=18/x
since they are similir the'd have the same ratio
sooo you just solve for x (multiply 6 by 18, and then divide by 9) and you get 12
2. same thing except you put 6/10=12/x, and solve it (multiply 10 by 12 and divide by 6) and u get 20
dats how i would do it but there are other ways too im sure :)
hope this helps
To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2
(-5+3)/2 = -2/2 = -1
To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2
(3+-1)/2 = 2/2 = 1
(-1,1)
