Solve this system of equations: 3x - 2y = -8 y=3/2x - 2 PLEASE WRITE THE STEPS

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that y is equal to 3/2x-2. We can replace the y in the first equation with 3/2x-2 because they are equal and we can solve for x.

3x-2(3/2x-2)=-8

We use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.

3x-3x+4=-8

We combine like terms.

4=-8

We see that since there is no x anymore, there cannot be a solution. We have no x value to solve for the y value either, so there is no solution to this system of equations.

Have a wonderful day! :D

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve w - 9 1/2 = 15? Add 15. Subtract 15. Add 9 1/2. Subtract 9 1
krek1111 [17]
You want to undo the (-9 1/2), so you will add 9 1/2 to each side

1,-1 after a translation left 4 units and down 5 units​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

-3,-6? im not sure what you're asking

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the coordinate plane, if you move 4 units to the left of 1 you get -3, moving it down 5 you get -6 then plug them in to the ordered pair (x,y) so (-3,-6)

I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?
podryga [215]
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle.  the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth
