Which of the following represents a valid first step to solving this system of equations using the substitution method?

Answer:

2(2y - 1) - y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the 2 equations are

2x - y = 7

x = 2y - 1

substitution message that you use one equation to express one variable by the other, and then you use that in the other equation to get one equation for one variable. then you solve for that, and use that result in the first equation to since for the second variable.

the equations are already defined that way, that the second equation directly defines x as an excision of y.

so, this needs to be used then in the first equation.

and that makes

2(2y - 1) - y = 7

the correct first step.

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of the square root of -3x-2=x+2

yarga [219]

Answer:

x=-6 is an extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\sqrt{-3x-2} =x+2$

squared both sides

$-3x-2=(x+2)^2$

$-3x-2=x^2+4x+4$

$x^2+7x+6=0$

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=-6 and x=-1

see the attached figure

<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>

substitute the value of x in the original expression

For x=-6

$\sqrt{-3(-6)-2} =-6+2$

$\sqrt{16} =-4$

$4=-4$ ----> is not true

so

Is an extraneous solution

For x=-1

$\sqrt{-3(-1)-2} =-1+2$

$\sqrt{1} =1$

$1=1$ ----> is true

so

Is the solution

Sandy sold 22 tickets, which was at least 6 more than twice the number of tickets that Teresa sold. This can be represented by t

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the number of tickets that Teresa sold, and x is integer and x>=0 (you can not sell negative number of tickets)

6 + 2x < 22

x < 8

The range of possible number of tickets that Teresa sold is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
