For this linear equation, give the number by which you would multiply the terms in each equation in order to eliminate one of th

e variables. Then solve this system:
5x+2y=-1; 3x+7y=11

This would be a big help if you also include the process to help me understand the answer!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we choose to eliminate x, multiply the first equation by -3:  -15x - 6y = 3

and multiply the second by 5:  -15x - 35y = 55

Note that this allows us to eliminate x.  We get:

-6y = 3

-35y = 55

which sum up to -41y = 58.  Thus, y = -58/4.

How many degrees would the hour hand move in 4 hrs?
marysya [2.9K]
A circle is 360 degrees, and there are 12 sections on a clock. Divide 360 by 12, which will get you 30. The hand moves 4 hours, so you would multiply 30 times 4 and get 120 degrees. I hope I helped!

What is the math definition for 'counterexample'? When is counterexample used?
LenaWriter [7]
A <u>counterexample</u> is something that proves a statement, or equation, wrong. A counterexample is used in math when someone creates a theorem, writes an equation, or creates a new rule and someone proves it to be false.

<u>For Example:</u>
Let's say that I said <em>an even number plus an odd number always equals an even number</em>. A counterexample of that would be 4 + 5 = 9, because 9 is odd, therefore proving the statement wrong.

12) -5k - 19 = 5 - 13k

-5k = 24 - 13k

8k = 24

k = 3


14) -15n + 16 = 86 - 29n

-15n = 70 - 29n

14n = 70

n = 5


16) 13 - 3p = -5(3 + 2p)

13 - 3p = -15 - 10p

-3p = -28 - 10p

7p = -28

p = -4


18) 14a - 93 = 49 - 57a

14a = 142 - 57a

71a = 142

a = 2


20) 8v = 2(4v + 2)

8v = 8v + 4

No solution


22) 2(-4h - 13) = 37 + 13h

-8h - 26 = 37 + 13h

-8h = 63 + 13h

-21h = 63

h = -3


24) 11n - 3 = 9 + 5n

6n = 12

n = 2


26) -9n - 12 = 8 - 4n

-5n - 12 = 8

-5n = 20

n = -4
