3x+y=17

x+3y=-1
Multiply 3 to each side
x*3+3y*3=-1*3
3x+9y=-3
Use substitute property
3x+9y=-3
-
3x+y=17
=
8y=-20
Divided 8 to each side
8y/8=-20/8
y=-2.5

3x+y=17
Substitute y with -2.5
3x+(-2.5)=17
3x-2.5=17
Add 2.5 to each side
3x-2.5+2.5=17+2.5
3x=19.5
Divided 3 to each side
3x/3=19.5/3
x=6.5
Next,
3x+3y
Substitute x with 6.5 and y with -2.5
3(6.5)+3(-2.5)
=19.5-7.5
=12 is your final answer. Hope it help!

3x+y=17
=> 3x=17-y
Again, x+3y=-1
=> 3y= -1-x
now, 3x+3y= (17-y)+(-1-x)
= 17-y-1-x
= 16-x-y

How would I solve this equation for mass (m)?

zaharov [31]

Simple...

you have: $F= \frac{G m^{2} }{ d^{2} }$

You want to find m-->>>

1.)Isolate m

$d^{2} *F= \frac{G m^{2} }{ d^{2} } * d^{2}$

Leaving you with...

F* $d^{2}$ = $G m^{2}$

Keep isolating m-->>>

$F* d^{2} =G m^{2}$

$\frac{F* d^{2} }{G} = \frac{G m^{2} }{G}$

Square root to solve what just m is-->>>

$\sqrt{ \frac{F* d^{2} }{G} } = \sqrt{ m^{2} }$

= $\sqrt{ \frac{F* d^{2} }{G} } =m$

That is how you solve for m...

Thus, your answer.

3. if kx² + 2x + k = -kx have equal roots, find the values of k.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = - $\frac{2}{3}$ , k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0

Given

kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )

kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is

kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form

with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus

(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side

4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0

- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for k

3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = - $\frac{2}{3}$

k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
