Okay, so this is what I came to. I think that you might need to look through the placement of the problem again and your x's, but other than that, here it is!

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span>425=<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x

</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract -250x^2+6250x from both sides.<span><span>425−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span>=<span><span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>−<span>(<span><span>−<span>250<span>x2</span></span></span>+<span>6250x</span></span>)</span></span></span><span><span><span><span>250<span>x2</span></span>−<span>6250x</span></span>+425</span>=0
</span>
Step 3: Use quadratic formula with a=250, b=-6250, c=425.<span>x=<span><span><span>−b</span>±<span>√<span><span>b2</span>−<span><span>4a</span>c</span></span></span></span><span>2a</span></span></span><span>x=<span><span><span>−<span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span></span>±<span>√<span><span><span>(<span>−6250</span>)</span>2</span>−<span><span>4<span>(250)</span></span><span>(425)</span></span></span></span></span><span>2<span>(250)</span></span></span></span><span>x=<span><span>6250±<span>√38637500</span></span>500</span></span><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√15455
</span></span></span></span><u>
Answer:</u><span><span>x=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span><span>110</span><span>√15455</span></span><span> or </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span><span>252</span>+<span><span><span>−1</span>10</span><span>√<span>15455</span></span></span></span></span>

solve the system of equations below by graphing both equations with a pencil and paper what is the solution y=2x-4 y=-x+5

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The coordinate of the points on the graph as shown , where ( x ,y ) = ( 3 , 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two algebraic equation is

y = 2 x - 4 .......A and y = - x + 5 ........B

The given two algebraic equation can be solved by putting the one variable to the other equation

Now , put the value of y from Eq A into the Eq B

I.e 2 x - 4 = - x + 5

or, 2 x + x = 5 + 4

or, 3 x = 9

∴ x = $\frac{9}{3}$

I.e x = 3

So The value of x = 3

Again, put the value of x in the equation A

I.e y = 2 x - 4

or, y = 2 × 3 - 4

∴ y = 6 - 4

I.e y = 2

So The value of y = 2

So , The coordinate of points on the graph as ( x , y ) = ( 3 , 2 )

Hence The coordinate of the points on the graph as shown , where ( x ,y ) = ( 3 , 2 ) Answer
