Hi Brainiac

Lets start by subtracting 3y from both sides

2y-4-3y=3y-5-3y

-y-4=-5

Now add 4 to both sides

-y-4+4= -5+4

-y=-1

Divide both sides by -1 so we can eliminate the negative sign

-y/-1=-1/-1

y=1

I hope that's help:0

Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

D. (x – 3)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want an equivalent to x^2 -6x = 8.

We can complete the square by adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation.

x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 = 8 +(-6/2)^2

(x -3)^2 = 17 . . . . simplify

let a = (a1, a2) and b = (b1, b2) and c = (c1,c2) be three non zero vectors. if a1b2 - a2b1 is not equal to 0. then show three a

Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.

The contrapositive of the logical statement

p ⇒ q

¬q ⇒ ¬p

In this case, the contrapositive claims that

"If there are no scalars α and β such that c = αa + βb, then a₁b₂ - a₂b₁ = 0."

The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

$\begin{cases}c_1 = \alpha a_1 + \beta b_1\\ c_2 = \alpha a_2 + \beta b_2\end{cases}$

or in matrix form,

$\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\c_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{pmatrix}$

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

$\begin{vmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2-a_2b_1 = 0$

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

Does -2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) have one,zero or infinite solutions

Andrew [12]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

One solution (z = -1)

Discussion:

-2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) =>

-2z -6 -z = -z -4z - 8 =>

-3z -6 = -5z -8 => add 6 to both sides

-2z = -5z -2 => add 5z to both sides

3z = -5z +5z -3 =>

3z = -3 =>

z = -1

Thank you,

MrB
