5x + 4y = 12 ⇒ 3(5x + 4y = 12) ⇒ 15x + 12y = 36

3x - 3y = 18 ⇒ 4(3x - 3y = 18) ⇒ 12x - 12y = 72

27x = 108

$\frac{27x}{27}$ = $\frac{108}{27}$

x = 4

5x + 4y = 12 ⇒ 5(4) + 4y = 12 ⇒ 20 + 4y = 12 ⇒ 4y = -8 ⇒ y = -2

Answer: x = 4, y = -2

First you solve for y.
5x+ y= 12 so Y= 12-5x
And plug it into the next equation
3x- 3(12-5x) = 18
Distribute
3x-36+15x=18
Add 36 to both sides
3x+ 15x= 54
18x= 54 ... divide
x= 3
And you can plug in x to solve for Y
5(3) + y = 12
15+ y = 12 ...subtract 15 from both sides
y= -3

Without graphing, determine the range of the runction f(x)=4|x+6|-5

Aneli [31]

Since is a positive a value (4) we know that the graph opens upward. -5 represents how far up or down the “vertex” is of the absolute value graph. This means that the range is -5

Evaluate the limit of tan 4x/ 4tan3x

Brut [27]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is undefined at x=0, so we presume that's where we're interested in the limit. Both numerator and denominator are zero at x=0, so L'Hôpital's rule applies. According to that rule, we replace numerator and denominator with their respective derivatives.

$\displaystyle\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan{(4x)}}{4\tan{(3x)}}=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan'{(4x)}}{4\tan'{(3x)}}=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{4\sec{(4x)^2}}{12\sec{(3x)^2}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\\\\\boxed{\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\tan{(4x)}}{4\tan{(3x)}}=\dfrac{1}{3}}$

6(x+7)-20=6x x-4-3x=-2x-3-1 -2(x+2)=-2x+1 2(x+4)-5=2x+3

lina2011 [118]

All of these have no solution since x would be cancelled out before it can be solved.

Hope that helps!
