The solution is x = -10, y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$7x+5y = -25\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\5x+3y = -23\ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Multiplying equation 1 by 3

$3(7x+5y) = -25 * 3\\21x+15y = -75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Multiplying equation 2 by 5

$5(5x+3y) = -23 * 5\\25x+15y = -115\ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Subtracting equation 3 from equation 4

$(25x+15y) - (21x+15y) = -115 - (-75)\\25x+15y-21x-15y = -115+75\\4x = -40$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{-40}{4}\\x = -10$

Putting x = -1 in equation 1

$7(-10)+5y = -25\\-70+5y = -25\\5y = -25+70\\5y = 45$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{45}{5}\\y = 9$

Hence,

The solution is x = -10, y = 9

If someone could help me with this problem

The equation of the given Absolute Value Function is; y = |-2x + 4|

<h3>How to interpret Linear Graphs?</h3>

We can see that the given graph is a Linear graph but since it is V-shaped, we can say that it is a graph of an absolute value function.

Now, from the graph we see that;

At x = 0, y = 4

At x = 1, y = 2

At x = 2, y = 0

At x = 3, y = -2

At x = 4, y = 0

At x = 5, y = 2

We can see that the y-intercept is at y = 4.

Slope between two consecutive points is;

(2 - 4)/(1 - 0) = -2

Equation is; y = -2x + 4

Now, this is an absolute value function and as such we will write it as;

y = |-2x + 4|

Write the expression 44(4–7)(4) using a single exponent.

Ghella [55]

<h3>The given expression as single exponent is:</h3>

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4$

In exponents,

When the base is same, exponents can be added

Which means,

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Therefore,

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{4-7+1}\\\\Simplify\\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-3+1} \\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

Thus the given expression as single exponent is:

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$
