Hii!

x=-10

Let's distribute 2 first. $\sf 2(x+3)== > 2x+6}$

$\sf 2x+6=x-4}$ .

Now subtract 6 from both sides.

$\sf 2x=x-4-6} \\ 2x=x-10$

Now we subtract x from both sides.

$\sf 2x-x=-10}\\x=-10}$

Hope that this helped! Best Wishes.

solve the system of equations by finding the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations. x-2y+

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x = -5, y = -6, z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-2y+3z=-2\\6x+2y+2z=-48\\x+4y+3z=-38\end{array}\right.$

Write the augmented matrix for the system of equations

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)$

Find the reduced row-echelon form of the augmented matrix for the system of equations:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\6&2&2&|&-48\\1&4&3&|&-38\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-2&3&|&-2\\0&-14&16&|&36\\0&-6&0&|&36\end{array}\right)\sim \left(\begin{array}{ccccc}1&3&-2&|&-2\\0&16&-14&|&36\\0&0&-6&|&36\end{array}\right)$

Thus, the system of three equations is

$\left\{\begin{array}{r}x+3z-2y=-2\\16z-14y=36\\-6y=36\end{array}\right.$

From the last equation:

$y=-6$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$16z-14\cdot (-6)=36\\ \\16z=36-84\\ \\16z=-48\\ \\z=-3$

Substitute y = -6 and z = -3 into the first equation:

$x+3\cdot (-3)-2\cdot (-6)=-2\\ \\x=-2+9-12\\ \\x=-5$

Consider the enlargement of the pentagon. A small pentagon has a bottom side length of x centimeters and left side length of 7 c

il63 [147K]

Answer:

3.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we can draw out a proportion

= Small pentagon = Large pentagon

= x/7 = 7/15

Cross Multiply

x × 15 = 7 × 7

15x = 49

x = 49/15

x = 3.2666666667 cm

Approximately= 3.3 cm

Answer:

A. vertex, (3, 0); y-intercept 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite in vertex form and use this form to find the vertex

( h , k ) . ( 3 , 0 )

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x . To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y .

x-intercept(s):

( 3 , 0 )

y-intercept(s):

( 0 , 4.5 )
