Answer:

  13

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the most straightforward way to find the value of the given function is to first solve the equations for x and y. The results can be substituted into your expression to find the value you want.

__

<h3>solving the system</h3>

We notice the y-coefficients are opposites, so we can eliminate the y-variable by adding the equations.

  (2x -y) +(x +y) = (3) +(1)

  3x = 4 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 4/3 . . . . . divide by 3

The value of y can be found from the second equation:

  4/3 +y = 1 . . . . substitute for x

  y = -1/3 . . . . . . subtract 4/3

<h3>expression value</h3>

The value of 8x-7y is found by substituting the x- and y-values into this expression:

  8(4/3) -7(-1/3) = 32/3 +7/3 = 39/3 = 13

The value of 8x-7y is 13.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can also work out what combination of the two equations will give 8x -7y. That turns out to be 5 times the first minus 2 times the second:

  5(2x -y) -2(x +y) = 5(3) -2(1)

  10x -5y -2x -2y = 15 -2

  8x -7y = 13

__

The coefficients 5 and -2 are found by solving the system of equations ...

  a(2x -y) +b(x +y) ≡ 8x -7y   ⇒   {2a +b = 8, -a +b = -7}

Factor the expression.<br> 9y^2– 36
Nata [24]

Answer:

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

9 y^2 - 36

Factor 9 out of 9 y^2 - 36:

9 (y^2 - 4)

y^2 - 4 = y^2 - 2^2:

9 (y^2 - 2^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. y^2 - 2^2 = (y - 2) (y + 2):

Answer: 9 (y - 2) (y + 2)
