Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution to the equation. (-2, 8); y = -2x - 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No, the pair is not a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the pair to be a solution to the equation, x = -2 must lead to y = 8, o =r vice versa. This leads to being able to solve it two ways either through x or through y.

I'll solve it through x:

y = -2x - 1

with x = -2

y = -2 * - 2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

Since y = 3, when x = -2 the pair (-2,8) is not a pair to the solution of the equation.

PS: You can double check by solving through y and you'll find x = -4.5

Due by tomorrow and i have no idea how to do it
ikadub [295]

okay so your x and y values go where the bold black lines are on the graph. the bottom left hand corner is left clear as it is for the zero value. you plot the numbers given in the table so that each number has it's own line on the graph

then you plot the numbers given in the table by going along the corridor and up the stairs. you essentially find the spot where both x and y values are satisfied. If you don't understand this I can help you further. you then join these plotted points with a line

for the second question, you find the gradient of the line which is the vertical length of the line divided by the horizontal length of the line.

for 3 you find 15 minutes on the x-axis and see where it meets the y-axis on the line that you have plotted

you do the opposite for 4. you find €1.52 on the y-axis and see where it meets on the x-axis on the line that you have plotted

if you have any further questions don't be afraid to ask! I'm very bad at explaining :)

Holly bought 23 tickets to the baseball game. She got a group rate that gave her $4 off of the regular ticket price for each tic
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The regular price of the ticket was $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call P the regular price of the tickets, and if she had bought tickets at this price, the total cost would have been

23P.

But Holly got $4 off the regular ticket price, that means one ticket cost her

P-4

and if she bought 23 tickets it cost her

23(P-4)

and we are told this equals $184; therefore we have

23(P-4)=184

now we solve this equation the following way:

23(P-4)=184

23P-4(23)=184

23P-92=184

23P=276

\boxed{ P=12}

Thus, the regular price was $12.
