What is the solution of the system? use substitution. 5x - y =3 6x - y=8

1 answer:

5 0

5x - y = 3 ------------ (1)
6x - y = 8 ------------ (2)

From (1):
5x - y = 3
y = 5x - 3 ------------ Sub into (2)

6x - (5x - 3) = 8
6x - 5x + 3 = 8
x + 3 = 8
x = 5 ------------------- Sub into (1)

5x - y = 3
5(5) - y = 3
25 - y = 3
y = 25 - 3
y = 22

---------------------------------
Ans: x = 5, y = 22

Answer:

$\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Though it is not what you have written, we think you want to simplify ...

$\dfrac{2(a-3)}{(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{(a-1)}{(3-a)(a-4)}+\dfrac{(a-2)}{(5-a)(a-3)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a-3)^2}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-1)(a-5)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}+\dfrac{-(a-2)(a-4)}{(a-3)(a-4)(a-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{2(a^2-6a+9)-(a^2-6a+5)-(a^2-6a+8)}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{x^3-12x^2+47x-60}}$

When writing a fraction in plain text, parentheses are needed around the entire denominator. The order of operations tells you that a/bc = (a/b)c, not a/(bc).
