Dox needs to solve the system of equations below 4x + 5y = 7
2x - 3y = 9

He decides to use the elimination method to cancel out the x terms in order to first solve for y. Dox uses the following steps:

Step 1: 4x + 5y = 7
-2(2x) - 3y = 9

Step 2: 4x + 5y = 7
-4x - 3y = 9

Step 3: 2y = 16

Step 4: y = 8
Did Dox use the correct steps to solve for y?

Martin likes to make flower bouquets that have 3 daffodils and 4 tulips per vase. a daffodil has a mass of d grams, a tulip has a mass of t grams, and the vase has a mass of u grams. the expression 5(3d + 4t + v) describes the mass of 5 bouquets. match each amount in the situation with the expression that represents it. situation expression number of bouquets mass of one bouquet mass of the tulips in one bouquet 4t mass of the daffodils in one bouquet 3d + 4t + v

Write the contrapositive of the conditional statement. determine whether the contrapositive is true or false. if it is false, find a counterexample. a converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. a) a non-converse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. true b) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is a converse statement. false; an inverse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. c) a non-converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. false; an inverse statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. d) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is not a converse statement. true
