In the following equations, let x =-3 and y = 2/3. Determine whether the following equations are true or false, or neither true or false.
A. xy = -2
B. x + 3y = -1
C. x + z = 4
D. 9y = -2x
E. y/x = -2
F. -2/x / y = -1

Answer 1

A. xy = -2 - true

B. x + 3y = -1 - false doesn't equal -1 it equals -2

C. x + z = 4 - neither because z

D. 9y = -2x - false because it equals -6

E. y/x = -2 - false because it equals -.2222222

F. -2/x / y = -1 - false it equals positive 1

Answer 2

xy = -2

(-3)(2/3) = -2

-2 = -2 TRUE

x + 3y = -1

-3 + 3(2/3) = -1

-3 + 2 = -1

-1 = -1 TRUE

x + z = 4

-3 + z = 4

z = 7 NEITHER

9y = -2x

9(2/3) = -2(-3)

6 = 6 TRUE

y/x = -2

(2/3)/(-3) = -2

-0.22... = -2 FALSE

-2/x / y = -1

-2/-3 / 2/3 = -1

2/3 / 2/3 = -1

1 = -1 FALSE

Best of Luck!
