Given that Jon said,
"m-1 is always greater than 1-m"
we want to find how true the statement is;
secondly for negative values of m;
So, the statement "m-1 is always greater than 1-m" is false.
Because 1- m is greater than m-1 when m is a negative integer.
Therefore, I Disagree, because 1- m is greater than m-1 when m is a negative integer
Answer:
(x, y) ≈ (2.848, -19.241)
Step-by-step explanation:
I find it much easier to work with the problem statement when math expressions are written using numbers and symbols. We assume you have ...
-4x +15y = -300
20x +4y = -20
Dividing the second equation by 4 and subtracting the x-term gives ...
y = -5-5x
Substituting that into the first equation, we get ...
-4x +15(-5-5x) = -300
-79x -75 = -300
x = -225/-79 = 2 67/79 ≈ 2.8481
Substituting this into the equation for y gives ...
y = -5(x +1) = -5(3 67/79) = -19 19/79 ≈ -19.2405
The approximate solution is ...
(x, y) = (2.8481, -19.2405)
