Y = x-4

2x + y = 5
2x + (x-4) = 5
3x - 4 = 5
3x = 9
x = 3

Substitution is done by replacing a variable for an equation. In this case:

2x+y=5
would be
2x+(x-4)=5 (If you notice, you see that the value of x was replaced in the main equation)

Then you would solve as normal.

2x+x-4=5
3x-4=5
3x=9
x=3

Then we can plug in x for any one of the equations to find y.
y=x-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So the solution is x=3 and y=-1.

Determine the midpoint between the two points x(4,-6) and y(-2,8)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

p(a, b) = (1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula is

p(a, b)=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} ) ---------------(1)

Here

(x_1, y_1) = (4, -6) \ \ \ and \ \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (-2, 8)

Substituting values in equation (1)

p(a, b)=(\frac{4 - 2}{2}, \frac{-6 + 8}{2} )

p(a, b) = (1, 1)

Jamar's teacher told him that one of the reasons he gave on the proof below was incorrect. Which reason did he make the mistake
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason given to go from :

2 (3x +4) = 56  to 6x + 8 = 56

is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
