Answer:

x = -(3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm going to assume that the left side is (2/3)x and not 2/(3x). If so let me know and i'll change it.

(2\3)x =-1 (multiply both sides by 3)

2x = -1 (3)

2x = -3 (divide both sides by 2)

x = (-3) / 2

x = -(3/2)

NO LINKS!! Use the method of substitution to solve the system. (If there's no solution, enter no solution). Part 11z

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}$

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}y=x^2-9\\y=4x-4\end{cases}$

To solve by the method of substitution, substitute the first equation into the second equation and rearrange so that the equation equals zero:

$\begin{aligned}x^2-9&=4x-4\\x^2-4x-9&=-4\\x^2-4x-5&=0\end{aligned}$

Factor the quadratic:

$\begin{aligned}x^2-4x-5&=0\\x^2-5x+x-5&=0\\x(x-5)+1(x-5)&=0\\(x+1)(x-5)&=0\end{aligned}$

Apply the <u>zero-product property</u> and solve for x:

$\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1$

$\implies x-5=0 \implies x=5$

Substitute the found values of x into the <u>second equation</u> and solve for y:

$\begin{aligned}x=-1 \implies y&=4(-1)-4\\y&=-4-4\\y&=-8\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}x=5 \implies y&=4(5)-4\\y&=20-4\\y&=16\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the solutions are:

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{-1,-8} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(smaller $x$-value)}$

$(x,y)=\left(\; \boxed{5,16} \; \right)\quad \textsf{(larger $x$-value)}$

Find the measure of angle ∡4

dexar [7]

Since they share the same angle measurement, and 4 is smaller than 158 degrees, you subtract 158 from 180 and angle 4 = 22 degrees

Find the inequality represented by the graph.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

<h2> $x \geqslant \frac{y + 4}{3}$ </h2>

Explanation;

Associated line with this equation is:

y=mx+c

when,

X=0

y=-4

so, c=-4

X=1

y=-1

$- 1 = m- 4 \\ - m = - 4 + 1 \\ - m = - 3 \\ m =3 \\$

$y = 3x - 4 \\ or \: y + 4 = 3x \\ or \: \frac{y + 4}{3} = x$

Inequality representated by graph:

$x \geqslant \frac{y + 4}{3}$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
