Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.
2/3 = 10/15
1/5 = 3/15
We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)
Answer:
x=10, y = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
y = –5x + 30
x = 10
Substitute the second equation into the first
y = –5*10 + 30
y = -50 +30
y = -20
x=10, y = -20
Answer:
(2, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x is defined by the first equation as x = -3y – 13. Substitute -3y – 13 for x in the second equation:
2( -3y – 13) + 2y = -6.
Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:
-6y - 26 + 2y = -6
Combining like terms results in:
-4y = 20, so that y = -5
Using the first equation, we find x for y = -5:
x = -3(-5) - 13 = 2
The solution is thus (2, -5) (Answer C)
Remember, the graph of a line represents every point that is a possible solution for the equation of that line. So when the graphs of two equations cross, the point of intersection lies on both lines, meaning that it is a possible solution for both equations. When the graphs of two equations never touch, there are no shared points and there are no possible solutions for the system. When the graphs of two equations lie on top of one another, they share all their points and every one is a possible solution.
