Answer: x = t, y = 2t/3 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to write both x and y in terms of t
so if you rearrange 4x - 6y = -12 you get
-6y = -4x - 12
6y = 4x + 12
y = 2x/3 + 2
set x = t
and y = 2t/3 + 2
and that's it!
another one you could do is
x = t/2
y = t/3 + 2
or even
x = 3t/2
y = t + 2
i like this one the most because it looks more elegant
10 is the estimate because you have 58, and you put it in 589 10 times.
<u>We know that:</u>
Slope of a line = change in y coordinate / change in x coordinate
<u>We are given:</u>
First point = (2,5)
Second point = (5, 14)
<u>Calculating the change in y coordinate:</u>
change in y (also represented by Δy) = second y - first y
Δy = 14 - 5
Δy = 9
<u>Calculating the change in x coordinate:</u>
Δx = second x - first x
Δx = 5 - 2
Δx = 3
<u>Slope of the line:</u>
Slope = (Δy) / (Δx)
Slope = 9 / 3 [replacing the values]
Slope = 3
Answer: g = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
g/3 + 11 = 25
First, subtract 11 to both sides
g/3 = 14
Then, multiply 3 to both sides to get rid of the fraction
g=42
Answer:
x=4
y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+2y=12
x−y=2
In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.
2x+2y=12,x−y=2
To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.
2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2
Simplify.
2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4
Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.
2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4
Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.
2y+2y=12−4
Add 2y to 2y.
4y=12−4
Add 12 to −4.
4y=8
Divide both sides by 4.
y=2
Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
x−2=2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
x=4
The system is now solved.
x=4,y=2
Correct choice is B) x=4.
