If 3x+2y=12 and -4x+6y=24 what is the value of -x+2y

1 answer:

6 0

(1) 3x+2y=12
(2) -4x+6y=24

Solving the system of equations using the method of substitution:
Isolating y in the first equation:
(1) 3x+2y=12→3x+2y-3x=12-3x→2y=12-3x→2y/2=(12-3x)/2→y=(12-3x)/2

Replacing "y" by (12-3x)/2 in the second equation:
(2) -4x+6y=24
y=(12-3x)/2→-4x+6[(12-3x)/2]=24

Solving for x:
-4x+3(12-3x)=24
-4x+36-9x=24
-13x+36=24
-13x+36-36=24-36
-13x=-12
-13x/(-13)=-12/(-13)
x=12/13

Replacing "x" by 12/13 in y=(12-3x)/2
x=12/13→y=[12-3(12/13)]/2
y=(12-36/13)/2
y={[(13)(12)-36]/13}/2
y=[(156-36)/13]/2
y=(120/13)/2
y=(120/13)(1/2)
y=60/13

x=12/13; y=60/13
-x+2y=-12/13+2(60/13)
-x+2y=-12/13+120/13
-x+2y=(-12+120)/13
-x+2y=108/13

Answer: The value of -x+2y is 108/13

Find the integral, using techniques from this or the previous chapter.<br> ∫x(8-x)3/2 dx

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

$\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx= -\frac{16}{5} (8-x)^{\frac{5}{2}} +\frac{2}{7} (8-x)^{\frac{7}{2}} +C$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to find the following integral:

$\int x(8-x)^{3/2}dx$

And for this case we can use the substitution $u = 8-x$ from here we see that $du = -dx$ , and if we solve for x we got $x = 8-u$ , so then we can rewrite the integral like this:
