X+y=-1
x-3y=11
------------- (subtract equation)
4y = -12
y = -12/4
y= -3
-------------- (substitute y)
x-3=-1
x=-1+3
x=2
Answer ----> A (2,-3)
-5x-3y=12
x-3y=-6
you want to multiply the top equation by -1 to swap the signs and make the x's positive like the bottom equation
5x+3y=-12
x-3y=-6
then you have to multiply every value in the bottom equation by 5 so you are able to subtract it from the top equation
5x+3y=-12
5x-15y=-30
---------------- (subtract)
18y=18
y=18/18
y=1
------------------ (substitute y)
x-3=-6
x=-6+3
x=-3
answer = (-3,1)
I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.
to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x
then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40
solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)
to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants
Hope I helped :)
<span>Drake can meet his $750 planned savings goal with either concept. After 4 weeks, he was $30 less than where he planned to be ($450 instead of $480). If he simply added $250 after two more weeks, he would be at $720 instead of $750, and would have to wait one more week to take the class. Conversely, if he added $15 to the next two weeks' savings, he would recoup the $30 he pulled out of the savings in those two weeks and would be back on the path to being able to take the course at the end of the 6-week period as originally planned.</span>
Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 4 )
m = 
= 
= -
