What is the algebraic expression of a number decreased by the sum of the number and one?

Answer: x-(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is our unknown here, so we'll use the variable x to represent it in the equation. Now, a key phrase here is "decreased by"; that's telling us to subtract whatever comes next, which in this case, is the sum of x and 1. Since we're instructed to subtract the sum of these numbers together, we want to go ahead and put x+1 in parentheses. Now we've got the basic elements of the equation figured out, we only have to put it all together! And that gives us x, which is the number, minus (x+1), which is the sum of that number and 1.

Which of the following equations, in its simplest form, will be equivalent to 3x 2 (–5)? 2 3x 5 x – 1 x – 2 x –3 – 3x – 1 x 3 –
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x) = 3x² - x³ - 3x + 5 and g(x) = x - 1 - x²

-x² + x - 1) -x³ + 3x² - 3x + 5(x - 2

               -x³ +  x²  - x

                -------------------------

                          2x² -  2x  +  5

                          2x²  -  2x  +  2

                           ----------------------

To solve this system of equations by elimination, what operation would be used to elimate the y variable and find the value of x
jeka94

You would need to multiply the bottom equation by -2.5 (negative 2.5)

6x+5y=2

4x+2y=8

Multiply the bottom equation by -2.5:

-10x - 5y = -20

Now you can add the top equation to the new equation and it eliminates the Y variable:

6x + 5y = 2 +

-10x -5y = -20

Becomes:

-4x = -18

To find x, divide both sides by -4:

x = -18 / -4

x = 4.5
