Solve by Elimination b) -4x+2y=-4 4x-5y=-8

1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 3

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1)

4x-5y=-8 ------(eq 2)

by elimination,

(eq1) + (eq 2),

(-4x+2y) + (4x-5y) = -4 + (-8)

-4x+2y + 4x-5y = -4 -8

2y-5y = -12

-3y = -12   (divide both sides by -3)

y = -12 / (-3) = 12/3 = 4  (sub back into (eq 1) )

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1), when y = 4,

-4x+2(4)=-4  

-4x+8 = -4    (subtract 8 from both sides)

-4x= -4   - 8

-4x= -12 (divide both sides by -4)

x = -12 / (-4) = 3

I have been stuck on number 10 (this problem) for a while now. Can anyone help me with it and walk me through every step in orde
kotykmax [81]
When you multiply a same number but with different powers, you can simply add the powers together. So, in your question, add the powers -1 and -7 together.
7^(-1) x 7^(-7) = 7^(-8)

When you divide a same number but with different powers, you subtract the power at the top with the power from the denominator. So, -8 - (-7) = -1.
7^(-8) / 7^(-7) = 7^(-1)

So your answer would be 7^(-1).
Hopefully my explanation was clear?

Can someone help me with this right answer only and please explain it too

Answer:

g(6) = 71

f(11) = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve g(6) first

Plug 6 into x

g(6) = 2(6)^2 - 1

g(6) = 2(36) - 1

g(6) = 72 - 1

g(6) = 71

Now let's solve f(11)

f(11) = 5(11) + 7

f(11) = 55 + 7

f(11) = 62

<em>Thus, out answers are 71 and 62 respectively</em>

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (–10, 1) and (–8, 5). Round to the nearest tenth if necessa
satela [25.4K]

The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

<span><span><span> (x−h)^</span>2</span>+<span><span>(y−k)^</span>2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> ----------- EQ(1)
</span><span> where </span><span>handk</span><span> are the </span><span>x and y</span><span> coordinates of the center of the circle and </span>r<span> is the radius.
</span> The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

 So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (−10,1)and(−8,5) is :

 ((−10+(−8))/2,(1+5)/2)=(−9,3)

 So the point (−9,3) is the center of the circle.

  Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

  r^2=(−10−(−9))^2+(1−3)^2=1+4=5

 ⇒r=√5

 Subtituting h=−9, k=3 and r=√5 into EQ(1) gives :

 (x+9)^2+(y−3)^2=5
