Y= 4x-9 and y=x-3 Also using transitive property

1 answer:

4 0

Y = 4x - 9 and y = x-3 so the two right sides (4x-9 and x-3) must be equal

4x-9 = x-3

Let's solve for x

4x-9 = x-3
4x-9+9 = x-3+9 ... add 9 to both sides
4x = x+6
4x-x = x+6-x ... subtract x from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 = 6/3 ... divide both sides by 3
x = 2

If x = 2, then y is...
y = 4*x - 9 = 4*2-9 = 8-9 = -1
which can also be found by
y = x-3 = 2-3 = -1

So overall x = 2 and y = -1

We have the ordered pair (x,y) = (2,-1)

-8 equals x + 11 / -2

slava [35]

If the equation is $-8=x+\frac{11}{-2}$ :

$-8=x+\frac{11}{-2}\\-8=x-\frac{11}{2}\\-8+\frac{11}{2}=x-\frac{11}{2}+\frac{11}{2}\\-\frac{16}{2}+\frac{11}{2}=x\\x=-\frac{5}{2}=-2\frac{1}{2}$

If the equation is $-8=\frac{x+11}{-2}$ :

$-8=\frac{x+11}{-2}\\-8(-2)=\frac{x+11}{-2}(-2)\\16=\frac{-2(x+11)}{-2}\\16=x+11\\16-11=x+11-11\\x=5$

Hopefully the math was self-explanatory. If it is not, please feel free to ask for a step-by-step, in depth explanation, and I will edit my answer to accommodate.
