Solve using linear combination. 8x+14y=4 -6x-7y+-10

Mathematics
1 answer:
emmasim [6.3K]3 years ago

It's best to write the two equations as a vertical column:

8x+14y=4

-6x-7y = -10

Note that if we multiply the 2nd equation by 2, we get -12x - 14y = -20. The reason for wanting this version of the 2nd equation is that its -14y cancels the +14y in the first equation:

-12x - 14y = -20

8x+14y=4

Combine these equations, column by column. We get -4x = -16, which results in x = 4. Now find y by subbing 4 for x in either given equation. If we use the first equation, we get 8(4) + 14y = 4, or 32 + 14y = 4, or 14y = -28. Then y = -2.

The solution to this system of linear equations is thus (4,-2).

Check this result by substitution of these coordinates into -6(4) - 7y = -20:

-24 - 7(-2) = -10. Is this true or not?

-24 + 14 = -10 is true. Thus, (4,-2) is the desired solution.

f(x) = x + 3

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

  1. Swap:                                                                                                                 x = y + 3
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>y</em>:                                                      x - 3 = y
  3. Rewrite:                                                                                                             f⁻¹(x) = x - 3

Three single-digit numbers multiply to make 504 Write the missing numbers
boyakko [2]
We will guess and check to solve this problem

504/9= 56
504/8= 63
504/7= 72
504/6= 84
.....
we can continue the pattern. However, we know that 50 is the product of 8 and 7, so we can use that number

9*8*7=504
