Step-by-step explanation and answer:
Setting up a system of equations would be the easiest method for this question. The first number will be x. The second number will be y. According to the question:
x+1=y
2x-4=5y
Since the first equation is already solved for y, you can plug the whole first equation in for y in the second equation, then solve for x.
2x-4=5(x+1) Distribute the 5
2x-4=5x+5 Subtract 5x from 2x
-3x-4=5 Subtract -4 from 5 (add 4 to 5)
-3x=9 Divide to get the x by itself
-3=x
Now that you have x solved for, you can plug it into the first equation (or second, if you prefer) to solve for y.
x+1=y
-3+1=y
-2=y
Answer:
b= - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(4b + 3) + 2b = 3(b - 11)
16b + 12 + 2b = 3b - 33
18b + 12 = 3b - 33
18b - 3b = -33 - 12
15b = - 45
b = -3
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
No because the 8x^3 is all one term since it is not separated by any signs.
Answer:
The found values are:
A = 1/3
B = -8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that general equation is given by:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is a constant.
x + 3y = -5
y = -(1/3)x - 1/3(5)
Slop of the equation is -(1/3). As parallel line have same slope substitute it in the first equation:
Ax + By = 3
By = -Ax - 3
By = (1/3)x - 3
Hence, A = 1/3
Substitute point (-7,2) into the equation:
B(2) = (1/3)(-7) -3
B(2) = -7/3 - 3
B(2) = -16/3
B = -16/6
B = -8/3
