All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y
My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.
_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35
It's the first one. y can equal x as long as y doesn't equal x multiple times. We also know the last two are wrong because they're saying the same thing. A linear function is a straight line.
Answer:
could it be as simple as x+1=y or y-1=x?
Step-by-step explanation:
y is all of x plus one more.....
Given function:

The minimum value of the function can be found by setting the first derivative of the function to zero.


Solving for x:


Substituting the value of x into the original function:

Hence, the minimum value in the given range is (-1, -0.368)
