Answer:

x = 4 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

y = x - 1 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

-x + y = -1 | (equation 2)

Add 1/2 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x - y/2 = (-3)/2 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -2:

{2 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 3 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{2 x+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:

{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 4 , y = 3

5x^(-2)-17x^(-1)+6<br> i’m so confused pls help<br> will give brainliest

laila [671]

It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let $y=x^{-1}$ , then $y^2=x^{-2}$ , and we can rewrite the equation as

$5y^2-17y+6=0$

Solve for $y$ however you like; we get $y=\dfrac25$ and $y=3$ .

But we want to solve for $x$ , so we have

$y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52$

$y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13$

Paul works at a local grocery store. he worked 15 hours this week. last week he worked 2.5 times as many hours as he worked this

Nonamiya [84]

So last week Paul worked 2.5x this week's hours, so he worked a total of 2.5x15= 37.5 hours last week.

Answer:

$f=\frac{9c}{5}+32$

Step-by-step explanation:

$c=\frac{5\left(f-32\right)}{9}$

Switch sides:

$\frac{5\left(f-32\right)}{9}=c$

Multiply both sides by 9:

$\frac{9\times5\left(f-32\right)}{9}=9c$

$5\left(f-32\right)=9c$

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{5\left(f-32\right)}{5}=\frac{9c}{5}$

$f-32=\frac{9c}{5}$

Add 32 to both sides:

$f-32+32=\frac{9c}{5}+32$

$f=\frac{9c}{5}+32$
