Answer:
(x) = 6 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject
y = - x +
( multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions )
4y = - x + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
4y - 6 = - x ( multiply through by - 1 )
- 4y + 6 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x = (x) , then
(x) = 6 - 4x
Answer:
p = and q =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
2p - 3q = 4 -----------(i)
3p + 2q = 9 ------------(ii)
Let's solve this equation simultaneously using the <em>elimination method</em>
(a) Multiply equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 2 as follows;
[2p - 3q = 4] x 3
[3p + 2q = 9] x 2
6p - 9q = 12 -------------(iii)
6p + 4q = 18 -------------(iv)
(b) Next, subtract equation (iv) from equation (iii) as follows;
[6p - 9q = 12]
<u> - [6p + 4q = 18] </u>
<u> -13q = -6 </u> -----------------(v)
<u />
<u>(c)</u> Next, make q subject of the formula in equation (v)
q =
(d) Now substitute the value of q = into equation (i) as follows;
2p - 3() = 4
(e) Now, solve for p in d above
<em>Multiply through by 13;</em>
26p - 18 = 52
<em>Collect like terms</em>
26p = 52 + 18
26p = 70
<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>
13p = 35
p =
Therefore, p = and q =
