X is Kevin; Y is Dan

X = 3Y

X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)

3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
   + 4 +4
4 cancels each other out.
3Y = 5Y - 16
   - 5 -5
5 cancels each other out.
-2Y = -16
/2 /2
   Y = 8

X = 3Y;
X = 3 x 8;

Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24

Find the missing coordinates y+7x=1<br><br> (-1, )<br> (4, )

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

(-1,8)

(4,-27)

Step-by-step explanation:

y+7x=1

Let x = -1 and find y

y+7(-1)=1

y -7 =1

Add 7 to each side

y-7+7 = 1+7

y = 8

(-1,8)

Let x = 4 and find y

y+7(4)=1

y +28 =1

Subtract 28 from each side

y+28-28 = 1-28

y = -27

(4,-27)

Use technology to solve for x. 3^x - 4= 6x - 7

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$x=1,1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2 - 4= 6x - 7$

For the given equation :

Making the coefficients of x to L.H.S

$3x^2-6x-4+7$ $=0\\$

$3x^2-6x+3=0$

Taking 3 as common from the above equation

$x^2-2x+1=0$

Splitting the equation to make factors

$x^2-x-x+1=0$

Taking common from the equation:

$x(x-1)-1(x-1)\\(x-1)(x-1)=0$

Equating 'x' to zero

$x=1,1$
