How do you solve this system of linear equation by substitution x-3y=-12y=2x+9

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Finding x:
If y=2x+9, substitute y into the equation x-3y=-12.
You will get:  x-3(2x+9)=-12
Now, distribute:  x-6x-27=-12
Add like terms:  -5x-27=-12
Add 27 to both sides:  -5x=15
Divide both sides by -5:  x=-3

Now, substitute this value of x into the equation to find y:  y=2(-3)+9
Multiply:  y=-6+9
Add:  y=3

Here is the solution:  (x,y)=(-3,3)

Hope this explanation helped!

Answer:

<em>The second figure ( rectangle ) has a longer length of it's diagonal comparative to the first figure ( square )</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can't confirm the length of these diagonals based on the appearance of the figure, so let us apply Pythagorean Theorem;

This diagonal divides each figure ( square + rectangle ) into two congruent, right angle triangles ⇒ from which we may apply Pythagorean Theorem, where the diagonal acts as the hypotenuse;

5^2 + 5^2 = x^2 ⇒ x is the length of the diagonal,

25 + 25 = x^2,

x^2 = 50,

x = √50

Now the same procedure can be applied to this other quadrilateral;

3^2 + 7^2 = x^2 ⇒ x is the length of the diagonal,

9 + 49 = x^2,

x^2 = 58,

x = √58

<em>Therefore the second figure ( rectangle ) has a longer length of it's diagonal comparative to the first figure ( square )</em>

Which statement is true?​
love history [14]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }

<h2>Why?</h2>

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

<h2>First option,</h2>

\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}

<h2>Second option,</h2>

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

(a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}

\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }

We are given the expression:

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}

So, applying the properties, we have:

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }

Hence,

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }

<h2>Third option,</h2>

a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}

<h2>Fourth option,</h2>

\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }

Have a nice day!
