Answer:

3x-4y=15

7x+y=4

Solve7x+y=4 for y:

7x+y=4

7x+y+−7x=4+−7x (Add -7x to both sides)

y=−7x+4

Step: Substitute −7x+4 for y in 3x−4y=15:

3x−4y=15

3x−4(−7x+4)=15

31x−16=15 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

31x−16+16=15+16 (Add 16 to both sides)

31x=31

(Divide both sides by 31)

x=1

Step: Substitute 1 for x in y=−7x+4:

y=−7x+4

y=(−7)(1)+4

y=−3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer: x=1 and y=−3

Find the distance between each pair points (-5,3) , (-4,-5)?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

$\sqrt{65}$

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+( y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

we have:

$d=\sqrt{(-4-(-5))^{2}+(-5-3)^{2}} \\\\d=\sqrt{1^{2}+(-8)^{2}} \\\\d=\sqrt{65}$

The sum of two numbers is 24. The difference is 15. What are the two numbers?

tatiyna

The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5

x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
