anonymous · Answer

i want this question step by step so i know plz

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Let's check choice A (−5, 9)


(x + 6)y = 9

(-5 + 6)*9 = 9 ... replace x with -5 and y with 9

(1)*9 = 9

9 = 9 ... this is true, so choice A (−5, 9) is a solution


I'll let you check the others. There may be more than one answer

thank you so much it may take me like 5 min i will tag u when i have figured everything out ;)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

why is B wrong? can I see your steps?

anonymous · Answer

c is correct

anonymous · Answer

ok one sec

anonymous · Answer

(3, 1)

(x+6)y = 9
(3+6) * 1 = 9
(1) * 9 = 9

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

B.
(−3, 3)

anonymous · Answer

i did the same kind of steps for b and d and they were wrong is this right?

anonymous · Answer

(-3,3)

(x+6)y = 9
(-3 + 6) * 9 = 27
(1) * 27 = 27

27 = 9 
:( wrong

anonymous · Answer

oops, replace the 9 with one in the second eqution

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

-3 + 6 is not equal to 1

anonymous · Answer

i mean 3 replace the 9 with 3

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and idk how you turned that 9 into 27

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and I'm not sure why you replaced y with 9 when y = 3

anonymous · Answer

OMG I DID 3 NOT -3!!!!!!!!!1

anonymous · Answer

thank you so much for catching that let me re work it is take one sec

anonymous · Answer

replace 9 with 27, which means b is right so it was a, b, and c

anonymous · Answer

(-3 + 6) * 3 = 9

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

better

anonymous · Answer

sorry for the confusion, but is d is definetly wrong

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

then you replace the `-3+6` part with `3` since `-3+6 = 3`

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

D (7,9)


(x + 6)y = 9
(7 + 6)*9 = 9
13*9 = 9
117 = 9 ... false

so you are correct about D

anonymous · Answer

A B and C are correct i would not have known with ur help here is a medal!!!
