Answer:
(- 5, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x - 14y = 16 → (1)
- 2x + 7y = 17 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term
6x - 21y = - 51 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 35y = - 35
- 35y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 35 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
- 6x - 14(1) = 16
- 6x - 14 = 16 ( add 14 to both sides )
- 6x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 5
solution is (- 5, 1 )
The correct answer is <em><u>-0.6</u></em> which in fraction form is <u><em>-3/5</em></u>
Your answer is <u><em>C. -3/5</em></u>
Answer:
- c = -4.5
- z = 20
- x = -12
- a = -4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A way to do this that will always work is ...
- eliminate parenthses and collect terms
- subtract any constants from the left side
- subtract any variable terms from the right side
- divide by the coefficient of the variable
1.
- 8c -11 -6c = -2
- 2c -11 = -2
- 2c = 9
- c = 4.5
2.
- 3z +4 -2z -9 = 15
- z -5 = 15
- z = 20
3.
- 12 -4x +18 = 36 +4x +18 -6x
- 30 -4x = 54 -2x
- -4x = 24 -2x
- -2x = 24
- x = -12
4.
- 36a -9a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a = 6a -12
- 21a = -12
- a = -12/21 = -4/7
If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:
x^2-3x=-2x+2 add 2x to both sides
x^2-x=2 subtract 2 from both sides
x^2-x-2=0 factor
(x-2)(x+1)=0
So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:
y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2
So the two solutions occur at the points:
(-1,4) and (2,-2)
