PLEASE HELP !!!! SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Maddie got 810 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call Maddie's votes x, and her opponent's votes y.

x + y = 1485

x = y + 0.20y (because she got the same number of votes as her opponent, PLUS another 20% of that number. Divide 20% by 100 to get the decimal equivalent) This can also be written as x = 1.2y

So our system is

x + y = 1485   and

x = 1.2y

Substitute the second equation's value for x into the first equation:

1.2y + y = 1485 then solve for y

2.2y = 1485

divide both sides by 2.2

y = 675

substitute that in and solve for x

x + y =1485

x + 675 = 1485

subtract 675 from both sides

x = 810

Please let me know if you have questions on this answer. Hope it helps.

Choose the point-stope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

y-6 = -3(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is the following:

y-yo = m(x-xo), where 'm' is the slope and (xo, yo) is any point where the line passes through.

In this case, m=-3 and (xo, yo) = (-1, 6).

Therefore: y-yo = m(x-xo) = y-6 = -3(x+1)

In conclusion, the point-slope form of the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3 is:

y-6 = -3(x+1)
