\left \{ {{x + 3y = 5} \atop {x - 3y = -1}} \right.

Immediately, you can tell that 3y and -3y will cancel out using elimination.  That would be the easiest solving method to use here.  Set up the problems like this, add them, and solve for the remaining variable:

<span>x + 3y = 5
x - 3y = -1
</span>---------------
2x      = 4
x = 2

Now that you know what x is, you can substitute this value for x in one of the equations:

x + 3y = 5

2 + 3y = 5

3y = 3

y = 1

The solution to this system would be (2, 1).

You can perform a check for each equation to verify that this is the correct solution:

2 + 3(1) = 5

2 + 3 = 5

5 = 5
<em>Correct</em>

2 - 3(1) = -1

2 - 3 = -1

-1 = -1
<em>Correct</em>

\begin{cases}x+3y=5\\x-3y=-1 \end{cases}\\---------(+)\\\\x+x+3y-3y=5+(-1)\\\\2x=4\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\\\\\x+3y=5\\\\2+3y=5\qquad|-2\\\\2+3y-2=5-2\\\\3y=3\qquad|:3\\\\\boxed{y=1}

The solution is (2; 1)

Which of these expressions CANNOT be simplified by combining like terms?
densk [106]
5ab^{3} +7-3a^{2} b ^{2} +a^{3}b+10 can be simplified to by adding the 7 and 10 to get a^{3}b-3a^{2} b ^{2}+ 5ab^{3} + 17.

5ab^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b -10 cannot be simplified any more by combining like terms.

By distributing the 2b into the parentheses, you can simplify the expression:
5ab^{3}+2b(3ab^{2})+a^{3}b-10\\&#10;5ab^{3}+6ab^{3}+a^{3}b-10\\&#10;11ab^{3}+a^{3}b-10

Here you can just add:
5a^{3}b^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b^{3}-10ab\\&#10;6a^{3}b^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}-10ab

Thus, the only expression that cannot simplify any more using adding like terms is the second, 5ab^{3}+3a^{2}b^{2}+a^{3}b -10.

How many solutions exist for the given equation?<br>12×+1=3(4×+1)-2​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+1 = 12x+3-2

12+1 = 12x+1

The equation is same on both sides, so x can be anything.

3. Solve the following application of a system of linear equations.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Equations:

y =  14 + 9 x --- Cindy

y = 10 x --- Ruben

Solution to equation:

Time they have the same amount: 14 minutes

Number of cards they have at that time: 140 flashcards

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): Variables and what they represent

The variables to use are x and y

Where x represent the minutes and y represents the number of flashcards in x minutes

Solving (b): System of linear equation

Cindy:

Existing\ Flashcards = 14

Additional = 9 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y =  Existing\ Flashcards + Additional * x

y =  14 + 9 * x

y =  14 + 9 x

Ruben:

Rate = 10 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y = Rate * x

y = 10 * x

y = 10 x

Solution to Equations:

Time they have the same amount.

To do this, we equate both expressions

i.e.

10x = 14 + 9x

Collect Like Terms

10x - 9x = 14

x = 14

Number of cards they have at that time.

Here, we simply substitute 14 for x in any of the equations.

y = 10 x

y = 10 * 14

y = 140

or

y =  14 + 9 x

y = 14 + 9 * 14

y = 14 + 126

y = 140
