The system of equations can be solved using linear combination to eliminate one of the variables. 2x − y = −4→10x − 5y = −20
3x + 5y = 59→3x + 5y = 59
13x = 39
Which equation can replace 3x + 5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution?

2x – y = –4
10x – 5y = –20
7x = 39
13x = 39

2/3x + 7 = 29

step-by-step explanation:

two thirds = 2/3

plus a number = x

at least 29 = 29

there for you should get 2/3x + 7 = 29

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
