Mathematics
1 answer:
professor190 [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(- 5, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6x - 14y = 16 → (1)

- 2x + 7y = 17 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

6x - 21y = - 51 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 35y = - 35

- 35y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 35 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

- 6x - 14(1) = 16

- 6x - 14 = 16 ( add 14 to both sides )

- 6x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 5

solution is (- 5, 1 )

Carlos and Ethan noticed that both proportional relationships and linear functions form a straight line when graphed. Carlos cla
Andrews [41]

Answer:

B. Ethan is correct because all proportional relationships form a straight line and go through the origin and linear functions are linear, but they don’t all go through the origin so they are not always proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

So a proportional relationship is just a special kind of linear relationship, i.e., all proportional relationships are linear relationships (although not all linear relationships are proportional).

I think this may be the answer that is if you are to change the equations to subtraction problems, I can't see the picture so it's hard to answer.
