2x+3y= -17 
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x. 
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to: 
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you: 
-15y=85 
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get: 
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one. 
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10 
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7

5c squared- d squared+3/2c - 4d...c= -1. d= -4​
riadik2000 [5.3K]

For this case we have the following expression:

5c ^ 2-d ^ 2 + \frac {3} {2} c-4d

We must find the value of the expression when:

c = -1\\d = -4

Substituting we have:

5 (-1) ^ 2 - (- 4) ^ 2 + \frac {3} {2} (- 1) -4 (-4) =\\5 (1) -16- \frac {3} {2} + 16 =\\5-16- \frac {3} {2} + 16 =\\-11- \frac {3} {2} + 16 =\\- \frac {25} {2} + 16 =\\\frac {-25 + 32} {2} =\\\frac {7} {2}

Finally, the value of the expression is:

\frac {7} {2}

ANswer:

\frac {7} {2}

Graph y = 3x - 3 and label the x- and y-intercepts. My answer: (0,3)
Lesechka [4]
The slope-intercept form of the linear function is y = m x + b , where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Here we have: y = 3 x - 3
a ) When y = 0
0 = 3 x - 3
- 3 x  = - 3
x = ( - 3 ) : ( - 3 ) 
x = 1
When x = 0
y = 3 * 0 - 3 
y = - 3
So x - intercept is ( 1, 0 ) and y-intercept is ( 0, - 3 ).
b ) The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 ) = 
= ( - 3 - 3 ) / ( 5- 7 ) = ( - 6 ) /( - 2 ) = 6 / 2 = 3
Answer: The slope m = 3 .
