X+2y=5 and 4x-12y=-20 solve using elimination and substitution

Mathematics

Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution:

x + 2y = 5  Solve for x

x = -2y + 5  Substitute -2y + 5 in for x in the second equation

4x - 12y = -20

4(-2y + 5) - 12y = -20  Distribute the 4

-8y + 20 - 12 y = -20  Combine the y term

-20y + 20 = -20  Subtract 20 from both sides

-20y = -40  Divide both sides by -20

y = 2

Plug y into either of the 2 original equations to get x.

x + 2y = 5

x + 2(2) = 5

x + 4 = 5

x = 1

The answer is (2,1).

Elimination:

x + 2y = 5      4x - 12y = -20.  We want to eliminate with the x or the y.  I am going to eliminate the x's that means that I have to multiply the first equation all the way through by -4

(-4)(x + 2y) = (5) (-4)  That makes the equivalent expression

-4x - 8y = -20  I will add that to 4x - 12y = -20

<u>4x - 12y = -20</u>

0x -20y = -40

-20y = -40

y = 2.  Plug 2 into either the 2 original equation to find x.  This time I will select the second original equation to find x.

4x -12y = -20

4x - 12(2) = -20

4x - 24 = -20

4x = 4

x = 1

Factor of x^3-x^2-24x-36
Basile [38]
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***

f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
