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.

Let f be an exponential function and g be a logarithmic function.
love history [14]

Good evening ,

______

Answer:

1) (f+g)(1) = e

2) (fg)(1) = 0

3) (3f)(1) = 3e

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

1) (f+g)(1) = f(1) + g(1) = e¹ + log1 = e + 0 = e.

2) (fg)(1) = f(1) × g(1) = e¹ × log(1) = e¹ × 0 = e × 0 = 0.

3) (3f)(1) = 3×f(1) = 3×e¹ = 3e.

2<br> — x = 6<br> 3<br><br> Any help? Please?
Mama L [17]
X = 9
you multiply both sides by 3 because you have to get rid of it and what you do to one side you do to the other then you divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. i hope that makes sense.
