What is the solution to the system of equations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  (b)  (-3, 2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations will satisfy every equation. If it fails to satisfy any equation, it is not a solution.

<h3>Strategy</h3>

The system of equations does not seem to lend itself to simple solution by substitution or elimination. Hence, a reasonable strategy for finding the answer is to <em>try the offered choices</em>. Of course, a calculator can be used to find the answer almost as quickly.

<h3>Check</h3>

Using the third equation, we can check the answer choices fairly easily. That equation involves the least number of arithmetic operations. Substituting for (x, y, z), we have ...

  a) 3(1) -(11) -(5) = -13 ≠ -6

  b) 3(-3) -(2) -(-5) = -6 . . . . . . a potential solution

  c) 3(1) -(8) -(0) = -5 ≠ -6

  d) 3(-1) -(3) -(4) = -10 ≠ -6

The only viable choice is (-3, 2, -5).

<em>Check</em>

In the other two equations, we have for this solution, ...

  2(-3) -2(2) +(-5) = -15 . . . . works in the first equation

  6(-3) -3(2) -(-5) = -18 . . . . works in the second equation

Solve the system of linear equations by graphing. y = –5/2 x – 7 x + 2y = 4 What is the solution to the system of linear equatio
Anestetic [448]

Keywords

system; linear equations; graphing; solution

we have

y=-\frac{5}{2}x-7 -------> equation A

x+2y=4

x=4-2y ----> equation B

The <u>system</u> of <u>linear equations</u> is composed of equation A and equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A

y=-\frac{5}{2}[4-2y]-7

y=-10+5y-7

4y=17

y=17/4=4.25

Find the value of x

x=4-2[17/4]=-4.5

The<u> solution</u> is the point (-4.5,4.25)

Using a <u>graphing</u> tool

see the attached figure

therefore

the answer is the option A

(-4.5,4.25)

What are all solutions to the differential equation dy/dx=sec^2*x ?
zysi [14]

Answer:

y=tanx+C

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  {sec}^{2}  \: x \\  \\ dy = {sec}^{2}  \: x \: dx \\  integrating \: both \: sides \\  \\  \int \:1\: dy =  \int {sec}^{2}  \: x \: dx \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: y = tan \: x + c}} \\

1.) Explain how u can use absolute value to tell whether the sum of two integers is positive or negative?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

To find the sum of a positive and a negative integer, take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract these values. The result takes the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. The sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero.
