Answer:

x = -8

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you're going to want to get x or y by itself using elimination or substitution. I used elimination to get x by itself.

You can multiply the second equation (2x + 2y = -22) by -2 so you can eliminate the y's. When you multiply it, you get -4x - 4y = 44

Then, you can add -3x + 4y = 12 and -4x - 4y = 44. The y's cancel out to leave -7x = 56. Divide both sides by -7 to get x = -8.

Now, you can plug in -8 for x in either one of the equations. I plugged it into the second equation to make it 2(-8) + 2y = -22.

2 · -8 = -16.

-16 + 2y = -22. Add 16 to both sides to get 2y = -6. Divide both sides by to get y = -3.

Hope this helps! :)

If (6^0)^x= 1 what are the possible outcomes of x? Explain your answer.
swat32
X can be any  real number 

As long as it is to the power of 0, it will equal one. And because 6^0 = 1, 1^x can be any positive number, and it will still give you one.

As stated by WojtekR, even negative numbers can get 1

x = - 5

(6^0)^-5 =  1^-5 = 1/1 = 1

F(x)=4x2−8x−60 f(x)=4(x2−2x−15) f(x)=4(x−5)(x+3) whts the true statement of f(x)
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: D


Step-by-step explanation:

No such thing as a vertex of a graph... Eliminate B and C. Try f(3) = 4(3-5)(3+3) is not zero eliminate A. So answer must be D. Check: f(-3) has factor -3+3 = 0. f(5) has factor 5-5 = 0.
