Solve the system using elimination.
3x + 5y = 55
5x + 4y = 57

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

x=5, y=8. (5, 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=55

5x+4y=57

---------------

5(3x+5y)=5(55)

-3(5x+4y)=-3(57)

-------------------------

15x+25y=275

-15x-12y=-171

---------------------

13y=104

y=104/13

y=8

3x+5(8)=55

3x+40=55

3x=55-40

3x=15

x=15/3

x=5

Between the two, the difference in x is -1 and the difference in y is 3. 
Y's difference is rise, and x's difference is run. 
Divide rise over run to get the slope. 
3 / -1 = -3 
So the slope is -3, eliminating 2 and 4. 
The y-intercept that fits the graph is 7, not -7. 
That means the correct equation is C. 
Hope this helps!
The correct answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{Q1}\n\n(-2(3^2\cdot3^3)^2)/(3^(12)\cdot2^(-6))\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m)\n\n=-(2(3^(2+3))^2)/(3^(12)\cdot2^(-6))=-(2(3^5)^2)/(3^(12)\cdot2^(-6))\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^(nm)\n\n=-(2\cdot3^(5\cdot2))/(3^(12)\cdot2^(-6))=-(2\cdot3^(10))/(3^(12)\cdot2^(-6))\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)/(a^m)=a^(n-m)\n\n=-2^(1-(-6))\cdot3^(10-12)=-2^(7)\cdot3^(-2)\qquad\text{use}\ a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n)\n\n=-2^7\cdot(1)/(3^2)=-(2^7)/(3^2)=-(128)/(9)

\bold{Q2}\n\n(4^2)/(4^(-7))\cdot(2^4\cdot2^3)\cdot(3^(-2))^0\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)/(a^m)=a^(n-m),\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m),\ a^0=1\n\n=4^(2-(-7))\cdot2^(4+3)\cdot1=4^(9)\cdot2^7=(2^2)^(9)\cdot2^7\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^(nm)\n\n=2^(2\cdot9)\cdot2^7=2^(18)\cdot2^7\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^(n+m)\n\n=2^(18+7)=2^(25)
