Answer: Choice D) ordered pair is not a solution to the second equation
We can see this by replacing x and y with 1 and -4 respectively
2x + y = 4
2*1 + y = 4 .... replace x with 1
2*1 + (-4) = 4 ... replace y with -4
2 - 4 = 4
-2 = 4 .... this equation is false because -2 and 4 are different values
The last equation being false means that the original equation 2x+y = 4 is also false when (x,y) = (1,-4). Therefore, this ordered pair is not a solution to the second equation 2x+y = 4
A solution to the system must make BOTH equations true simultaneously, not just one.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 4
If you substitute x = 1, and y = -4, then
2(1) - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2 not 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
First, subtract 400 from both sides of the equation:
Multiply the eequation by -1:
Divide it by 350:
This equation is equivalent to the equation
Multiply it by -10:
Hence,
One possible answer is:
3(8)
Explanation:
The distributive property states that we multiply everything inside parentheses with the term outside parentheses. Algebraically, it is a(b+c) = ab+ac.
This means we need to split 8 up into a sum. Using 4+4, we have 3(8) = 3(4+4) = 3(4) + 3(4)
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c be the number of cows and d be the number of ducks.
c cows have 4c feet, d ducks have 2d feet. In total, c cows and d ducks have
4c + 2d = 148 feet.
Divide it by 2:
2c + d = 74.
This gives us that the number of ducks is even and cannot be 0 (because farmer Brwn has ducks). The minimum possible number of ducks is 2, so the maximum possible number of cows is 36.
