Answer:

(6, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

\frac{x}{4} - \frac{3}{8} y = 3 → (1)

\frac{5}{3} x - \frac{y}{2} = 12 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 8 and (2) by 6 to clear the fractions

2x - 3y = 24 → (3)

10x - 3y = 72 → (4)

Rearrange (3) expressing - 3y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides

- 3y = 24 - 2x

Substitute 3y = 24 - 2x into (4)

10x + 24 - 2x = 72, that is

8x + 24 = 72 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 in either (3) or (4) and solve for y

Substituting in (3)

2(6) - 3y = 24

12 - 3y = 24 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- 3y = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

y = - 4

Solution is (6, - 4 )

How do i find the roots of this equation: f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
Fantom [35]
The equation is <span>f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
remark:
the sum of coefficients is = 2-9+12-12+10-3=-7+7=0, so a=1 is a zero of f
f can be written as </span>f(x) = (x-1)Q(x), and f(x) / (x-1)= Q(x)
after euclid's division
Q(x) = 2x4 - 7x3 + 5x2 - 7x +3
so for finding the other roots, making Q(x) for product of factors is a must

How many solutions exist for the given equation?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2

Distribute

12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2

Combine like terms

12x+1 = 12x +1

Subtract 12x from each side

1 =1

Since this is always true, we have infinite solutions
