How many solutions does this linear system have?

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 2 → (1)

6x - 4y = - 10 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 2 into (2)

6x - 4( x + 2) = - 10 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6x - x - 8 = - 10 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

18x - 8x - 24 = - 30

10x - 24 = - 30 ( add 24 to both sides )

10x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = - 0.6

Substitute x = - 0.6 into (1) and evaluate for y

y = × - 0.6 + 2 = 2x × - 0.2 + 2 = - 0.4 + 2 = 1.6

One Solution is (- 0.6, 1. 6 )

21.4 i did it already for s1

step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
