0.5(2x+2)=-4
Multiply by 2 on both sides
2x+2=-8
Subtract 2 on both sides
2x=-10
Divide by 2 on both sides
x=-5
FALSE! Any 3 angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. An equilateral triangle's angles should each be 60 degrees.
<u>Answer:</u>
The solution set of given equations -x-y-z = -8 and - 4x + 4y + 5z = 7 and 2x + 2z = 4 is (3, 6, -1)
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, set linear equations are
-x – y – z = -8 ⇒ x + y + z = 8 → (1)
-4x + 4y + 5z = 7 ⇒ 4x – 4y – 5z = -7 → (2)
2x + 2z = 4 ⇒ x + z = 2 → (3)
We have to solve the above given equations using substitution method.
Now take (3), x + z = 2 ⇒ x = 2 – z
So substitute x value in (1)
(1) ⇒ (2 – z) + y + z = 8 ⇒ 2 + y + z – z = 8 ⇒ y + 0 = 8 – 2 ⇒ y = 6.
Now substitute x and y values in (2)
(2) ⇒ 4(2 – z) – 4(6) – 5z = - 7 ⇒ 8 – 4z – 24 – 5z = -7 ⇒ -9z – 16 = -7 ⇒ 9z = 7 – 16 ⇒ 9z = -9 ⇒ z = -1
Now substitute z value in (3)
(3) ⇒ x – 1 = 2 ⇒ x = 2 + 1 ⇒ x = 3
Hence, the solution set of given equations is (3, 6, -1).
