Answer: 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Break down the problem into these 2 equations.

x+4=3x−5

−(x+4)=3x−5

2. Solve the 1st equation: x+4=3x−5.

x=9/2

3. Solve the 2nd equation: −(x+4)=3x−5

x=1/4

4. Collect all solutions.

x=1/4,9/2

5. Check solution

When x=1/4​​, the original equation ∣x+4∣=3x−5 does not hold true.

We will drop x=1/4​​ from the solution set.

6. Therefore,

x=9/2

X+y+z=1
andrezito [222]

Answer: x = 0

y = 2

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations are

x+y+z=1 - - - - - - - - - - 1

-2x+4y+6z=2 - - - - - - - - - 2

-x+3y-5z=11 - - - - - - - - - 3

Step 1

We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 3. It becomes

4y -4z = 12 - - - - - - - - - 4

Step 2

We would multiply equation 1 by 2. It becomes

2x + 2y + 2z = 2 - - - - - - - - - 5

We would add equation 2 and equation 5. It becomes

6y + 8z = 4 - - - - - - - - - 6

Step 3

We would multiply equation 4 by 6 and equation 6 by 4. It becomes

24y - 24z = 72 - - - - - - - - 7

24y + 32z = 16 - - - - - - - - 8

We would subtract equation 8 from equation 7. It becomes

-56z = 56

z = -56/56 = -1

Substituting z = -1 into 7, it becomes

24y - 24×-1 = 72

24y + 24 = 72

24y = 72 - 24 = 48

y = 48/24 = 2

Substituting y = 2 and z = -1 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2 - 1 = 1

x = 1 - 1 = 0

What is the best method to solve the system of equations? 2x + 3y = 8 4x - 6y = 2?
Nana76 [90]
Answer: x = 9/4, y = 7/6

║<span>2x + 3y = 8
</span>║<span>4x - 6y = 2

</span>║4x + 6y = 16
║4x - 6y = 2

Add both equations together:

8x = 18
x = 9/4

Sub x = 9/4 into 2x + 3y = 8 
2(9/4) + 3y = 8
9/2 + 3y = 8
3y = 7/2
y = 7/6

Calcula y comprueba las ecuaciones: porfavor alguienn la nesesito pliss a) 2X = 6 b) 10 + Z = 20 c) P + 9 = 11 d) 3X + 8 = + 29
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

<u>a) x = 3</u>

<u>b) z = 10</u>

<u>c) p = 2</u>

<u>d) x = 7</u>

<u>e) u = 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2x = 6

Despejamos x dividiendo por 2 a amabos lados de la eacuacion.

(2/2)x = 6/2

<u>x = 3</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

2(3)=6

6 = 6

Queda demostrado.

b) 10 + z = 20

Despejamos z restando 10 en amabos lados de la eacuacion.

10-10+z = 20-10

<u>z = 10</u>

Si remplazamos z en la ecuación original:

10 + 10=20

20 = 20

Queda demostrado.

c) p + 9 = 11

Despejamos p restando 9 en amabos lados de la eacuacion.

p + 9 - 9 = 11-9

<u>p = 2</u>

Si remplazamos p en la ecuación original:

2 + 9 = 11

11 = 11

Queda demostrado.

d) 3x + 8 = 29

Despejamos x restando 8 en amabos lados de la eacuacion y luego divideindo por 3 en ambos lados de la ecuación.

3x+8-8 = 29-8

3x = 21

(3/3)x = 21/3

<u>x = 7</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

3(7) + 8 = 29

21 + 8 = 29

29 = 29

Queda demostrado

e) 2u + 8 = 10

Despejamos u restando 8 en amabos lados de la eacuacion y luego divideindo por 2 en ambos lados de la ecuación.

2u+8-8 = 10-8

2x = 2

(2/2)x = 2/2

<u>x = 1</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

2(1) + 8 = 10

2 + 8 = 10

10 = 10

Queda demostrado

vaieri [72.5K]
For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
 an = 17n-1
 Let's check it:
 First week:
 n = 1:
 a1 = 17 (1) -1
 a1 = 17-1
 a1 = 16
 Second week:
 n = 2:
 a2 = 17 (2) -1
 a2 = 34-1
 a2 = 33
 Third week:
 n = 3:
 a3 = 17 (3) -1
 a3 = 51-1
 a3 = 50
 Answer:
 
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
 
an = 17n-1
