Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A hole is an input value that makes both numerator and denominator equal to zero.
<u>Let's factorize the numerator and denominator:</u>
- 3x² - 108 = 3(x² - 36) = 3(x + 6)(x - 6)
- x² + 2x - 24 = x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = (x - 4)(x + 6)
<u>We have same factor of x + 6:</u>
- x + 6 = 0
- x = - 6 is a hole
Answer:
14. x=-2.5, y = -7
15. x=28 y = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
14. Let's solve this system by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -1.
-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)
-4x +y = 3
Then add this to the second equation.
-4x+y = 3
6x-y= - 8
--------------
2x = -5
Divide each side by 2
x = -2.5
We still need to find y
-4x+y =3
-4(-2.5) + y =3
10 +y =3
Subtract 10 from each side.
y = 3-10
y = -7
15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with. I will elimiate the y variable. Multiply the first equation by 11
11(
5x+6y)= 11*20
55x+66y = 220
Multiply the second equation by -6
-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)
-54x-66y = -192
Add the modified equations together.
55x+66y = 220
-54x-66y = -192
---------------------------
x = 28
We still need to solve for y
5x+6y = 20
5*28 + 6y =20
140 + 6y = 20
Subtract 140 from each side
6y = -120
Divide by 6
y = -20

Answer:
y = 23
x = -4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Equation
8x + y = -13 ......eq1
8x + 2y = 10........eq2
Find:
Solution
Computation:
Eq2 - Eq1
y = 23
From eq1
8x + y = -13
8x + 23 = -13
8x = -36
x = -4.5
