Solve for x and y by substitution 2x+5y=7 -2x+4y=15

1 answer:

7 0

I first found x using the second equation :

-2x+4y=15
-2x = -4y+15
x =2y-7.5

Then, I substituted this value into the OTHER equation :

2x+5y=7
2(2y-7.5)+5y=7
4y-15+5y=7
9y=22
y=2.444

So you have you y value. Now, input this value into any one of the other equations (it doesn't matter which) to find x.

-2x+4y=15
-2x+4(2.444)=15
-2x+9.776=15
-2x=5.224
x=-2.612.

So the solution for this system of functions is (-2.612, 2.444).

What is :<br><br>(49^x)(7^x^2)=2401^2

ludmilkaskok [199]

$(49^x)(7 ^{x^2})=2401^2 \\ \\( (7^2)^x)(7 ^{x^2})= (7^4) ^2 \\ \\ 7 ^{2x}\cdot 7^{x^2}=7^{8} \\ \\ 7 ^{2x+x^2} =7^{8} \\ \\2x+x^2 =8$

$x^2-2x-8 = 0\\ \\ a=1, \ b=-2, \ c=-8 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-2)^2 -4\cdot1\cdot (-8) = 4 +32 =36 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{2-\sqrt{36}}{2 }=\frac{ 2-6}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2 \\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{2+\sqrt{36}}{2 }=\frac{ 2+6}{2}=\frac{8}{2}= 4 \\ \\Answer: \ x=-2 \ \ or \ \ x=4$
