Answer:

B) Only (-2, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which of the given options is the solution to the linear equation, y = -2x + 5:

We can substitute the values of the given options to see whether they provide a true statement.

A) (2, -9):

y = -2x + 5

-9 = -2(2) + 5

-9 = -4 + 5

-9 = 1 (False statement. Therefore, this option is not included as a solution).

B) Only (-2, 9):

9 = -2(-2) + 5

9 = 4 + 5

9 = 9 (<u>True statement</u>. Thus, (-2, 9) is a solution to the given linear equation).

We no longer have to test options C and D because we already tested (2, -9) and determined that it's not a solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Only (-2, 9).

The length of each side of a square was decreased by 2 inches so the perimeter is now 49 inches. What was the original length of

aleksley [76]

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square is given by:

Perimeter = 4 * side

Let x be the original length of each side of square

decreasing 2 inch will mean

$x-2$

Perimeter of square after reducing 2 inches from each side

$4(x-2) = 49\\4x-8 = 49\\4x = 49+8\\4x = 57\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{57}{4}\\x = 14.25$

So,

The Original length of each side of square was 14.25 inches.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(5, 13) and K(7, 5). (12, 18) (9, 7) (2, 8) (6, 9)

____ [38]

Answer: D. (6, 9)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Midpoint is the "average" of the x's and y's:

Given: (5, 13) and (7, 5)

Midpoint: $(\dfrac{5+7}{2},\dfrac{13+5}{2})$

= $(\dfrac{12}{2},\dfrac{18}{2})$

= (6, 9)

Carlos takes classes at both Westside Community College and Pinewood Community College. At Westside, class fees are $ 98 per cre

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x + y = 13

98x + 115y = z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the time spent taking class in Westside community college

Let y represent the time spent taking class in Pinewood community college

Let z represent the combined total amount paid for the class fees.

The total combined time for the two school is given as:

x + y = 13.

For the combined total amount; we multiply the price for each school with the time spent on the school and sum them together.

Westside: $98 * x = 98x$

Pinewood: $115 * y = 115y$

The combined total amount represented as z is given as:

z = 98x + 115y
