Answer: The numbers are -3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:  Let x be the first number and y be the second number

then according to given statements the linear equations will be:

"Four times a number minus twice another number is -16"

"The sum of the two numbers is -1"

From equation 2:

Putting y = -x-1 in equation 1

Subtracting 2 from both sides

Dividing both sides by 6

Putting x = -3 in equation 2:

Hence,

The numbers are -3 and 2

Through: (4,4), slope<br> 9/4
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y - 4 = (9/4)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're given the slope (9/4) of a line and one point (4, 4) on the line.  The easiest form of the equation of a straight line to use here is the point-slope form:

y - k = m(x - h).

Here h = 4 and k = 4; the slope is m = 9/4.

Thus, the desired equation is

y - 4 = (9/4)(x - 4)

2 3/10 x-5/7 y-4 5/6 y-2 4/5 x
Stels [109]

Answer: im pretty sure this is correct

- 1/42 x (21x233y)

Step-by-step explanation:

first convert the expressions (2 3/10x x5/7 x y-2 4/5 x x )

then factor the expression (23/10 x- 5/7 y- 29/6 y- 14/5x )

then collect like terms (1/210 x 483 x - 150 y - 1015 - 588x)

factor the expression (1/210 x 105x 1165y)

Multiply reduce (1/210 x -5 (21x + 233y ))

= -1/42 x (21x233y)
