Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations
1 answer:
You solve the substitution method to solve a system of equality by expressing one variable in terms of the other using one equation, and then plugging this expression in the other(s).
In this case, the first equation gives us a way to express n in terms of m. So, we can replace every occurrence of n in the second equation with the given formula.
The result is
So, the second equation turned to be an equality, i.e. an equation where both sides are the same.
This implies that the system has infinitely many solutions, because every couple such that
is a solution to the system, because it satisfies both equations: the first is trivially satisfied, whereas the second is an identity, and as such is satisfied by any value of the variable.

Answer:
(5, 6) is (h, k)
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form is an instance of the transformation of parent function f(x) = x². It is vertically scaled by a factor of 'a', and translated so the vertex is point (h, k). That is, the transformed vertex is h units right and k units up from that of the parent function (0, 0).
Parent:
f(x) = x^2
Transformed:
f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k
__
When you compare the form to your specific instance, you need to pay attention to what it is that you're comparing. As the attachment shows, ...
- a = 2
- -h = -5 ⇒ h = 5
- k = 6
Hence the vertex is (h, k) = (5, 6). The second attachment shows this on a graph.
