Answer:
x=4, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
Add these together to eliminate y
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
-----------------
3x = 12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 12/3
x=4
But we still need y
x+y =6
4+y =6
Subtract 4 from each side
4+y-4 = 6-4
y=2
Answer:
(x-1)(x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 1
x = -7
These are the roots found using the quadratic formula.
The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as
y = mx + c
Where
m represents slope
c represents y intercept
The equation of the given line is expressed as
3x - 6y = 30
Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes
6y = 3x - 30
Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes
6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6
y = x/2 - 5
Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2
If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2
To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute
x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes
- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c
- 9 = 2 + c
c = - 9 - 2
c = - 11
By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be
y = x/2 - 11
