Answer:

<u>For this equation the value of x is - 2/3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Resolving the equation 2/3-4x+7/2=-9x+5/6

-4x + 9x = 5/6 - 2/3 - 7/2 (Putting the all the x values on the left)

5x = (5/6 - 4/6 -21/6)

5x = -20/6

x = - 20/6 /5 (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

x = -20/6 * 1/5

<u>x = -4/6 = - 2/3 (Simplifying)</u>

2. Proof of replacing x by -2/3

2/3 - 4 (-2/3) + 7/2 = -9 (-2/3) + 5/6

2/3 + 8/3 + 7/2 = 18/3 + 5/6

10/3 + 7/2 = 6 + 5/6

20 + 21 = 36 + 5 (Multiplying by 6 at both sides)

41 = 41

<u>It means the value of -2/3 for x is correct</u>

We have to determine if the functions are linear or not.

We can do this by rearranging the equations in this form:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

<em>NOTE: There are many ways to prove that a function is linear, but this is the easiest for this question. </em>

36.

$\begin{gathered} x+\frac{1}{y}=7 \\ \frac{1}{y}=-x+7 \end{gathered}$

As this function can not be written in the form y=mx+b, then it is not linear.

37.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{2}=10+\frac{2y}{3} \\ \frac{x}{2}-10=\frac{2y}{3} \\ \frac{2y}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x-10 \\ y=\frac{3}{2}(\frac{1}{2}x-10) \\ y=\frac{3}{4}x-15 \end{gathered}$

This function is now in the form y=mx+b, where m=3/4 and b=-15. Then, this function is a linear function.

Answer:

36. Non-linear.

37. Linear.

Check the picture below.

so let's use those two points the line passes through to get its slope.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-12-0}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{-12}{2}\implies -6$
