5x-15y=-20, 5x-4y=-9 systems of equations (elimination)

(- 1, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 15y = - 20 → (1)

5x - 4y = - 9 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 1 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

- 5x + 4y = 9 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 11y = - 11

- 11y = - 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

5x - 15(1) = - 20

5x - 15 = - 20 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, 1 )

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
