Explain why the two equations below have the same solutions. x + 3y = −1 −2x − 6y = 2

1 answer:

7 0

X + 3y= -1
-2x - 6y = 2

These two equations have the same solution because we can see that they are equivalent.

One way to find out is this:-

Since x has a +1 next to it, and the other equation has a (-2) next to the x, we can multiply everything on the first equation by 2 to see if they are equivalent.

x+3y= -1
(-2)*x + 3y*-2 = -1*-2
-2x+ (-6y) = 2
-2x-6y=2

Now we know that both of these equations have the same solution.

The tens digit is missing from the three-digit number 8 _ 9. If the tens digit is to be randomly selected from the ten different

PIT_PIT [208]

Step-by-step explanation:

Only 1 number works. 1 will make 819 which is divisible by 9.

Since it is 1 of ten numbers can go in the blank, the answer is 1/10 which is 0.1

The 10 number choices are

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

The only one that works is 1 as I've stated.

How to factor 6n2 - 6n - 12

alexandr402 [8]

We see that in these 3 terms, 6 is a common factor. So, let's factor out a 6:

$6n^2-6n-12 = 6(n^2-n-2)$

We can set this equal to 0 and factor by using the quadratic formula which is:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

So, let's do just that:

$6(n^2-n-2) = 0$

Note that the 6 goes away if you divide both sides by 6. In this case, a = 1, b = -1, and c = -2. Let's plug that into the quadratic equation:

$\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-2)} }{2(1)} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-(-8)} }{2}$

$\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{9} }{2} = {1, -2}$

So, we can write this as:

$6n^2 - 6n - 12 = 6(n-1)(n+2)$

Notice that the 6 comes back because it was only temporarily mad. And that the roots have opposite signs in the parentheses because to find the roots, you need to set each parentheses equal to 0 and solve for n. With that in mind, your final answer is 6(n-1)(n+2). Hope I could help you!
