Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the 2 equations:

2x + y = -3

-2y = 6+4x

-You then pick a variable that you want to solve for. I chose to solve for y because it would be a bit easier.

-2y = 6 + 4x

-Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable

(-2y) / -2 = (6 + 4x) / -2

-it comes out to y = -3 -2x

-Now that you have the y you can plug in the value into the second equation.

2x + y = -3 ---> 2x + (-3 -2x) = -3

This can be simplified to:

2x - 3 - 2x = -3

The 2x's cancel out because there is a +2x and a -2x. You are left with a

-3 = -3. If you add 3 to both sides of the equation you end up with 0 = 0, which can be simplified to just 0.

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lines on the graph representing the system of equations.

First line passes through two points (-3, 1) and (-2, 3).

Slope of the line = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{3-1}{-2+3}$

m = 2

Equation of the line passing through (x', y') and slope = m is,

y - y' = m(x - x')

Equation of the line passing through (-3, 1) and slope = 2 will be,

y - 1 = 2(x + 3)

y = 2x + 7 ----------(1)

Second line passes through (0, 1) and (-1, 4) and y-intercept 'b' of the line is 1.

Let the equation of this line is,

y = mx + b

Slope 'm' = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

= $\frac{4-1}{-1-0}$

= -3

Here 'b' = 1

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3x + 1 ---------(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

2x + 7 = -3x + 1

5x = -6

x = $-\frac{6}{5}$

x = $-1\frac{1}{5}$

From equation (1),

y = 2x + 7

y = $-\frac{12}{5}+7$

= $\frac{-12+35}{5}$

= $\frac{23}{5}$

= $4\frac{3}{5}$

Therefore, exact solution of the system of equations is $(-1\frac{1}{5},4\frac{3}{5})$ .

Option (B) will be the answer.

Tamir bought 2 1/2 pounds of fish at $5.50 per pound, and two bananas at $0.45 each.

tia_tia [17]

0.45+0.45= $0.90 + 5.50x2+2.25=$13.25 13.25+0.90 =$14.50 he would get $5.50 back out of the 20$ spent
