Which is a solution to the equation y=5x-6

Mathematics

A "solution" is a pair of numbers that can be written in place of 'x' and 'y' and make the equation a true statement.

For example . . . Is (x=1, y=2) a solution ?
To find out, write '1' in place of 'x', and write '2' in place of 'y'.

y = 5x - 6
2 = 5(1) - 6
<u>2 = 5 - 6</u>
Is that true ?  NO ! ! !
So (x=1, y=2) is NOT a solution to this equation.

But hold onto your seat . . . there ARE an infinite number of solutions.
You can draw a graph of the equation. The graph is a straight line,
and EVERY POINT on the line is a solution to the equation.
(Do you have any idea how many points there are on a line ? ! ?)

Since your question begins with the word "Which...", I know there was a
list of choices along with it, in the book or on the homework or wherever
you copied the question from, and you decided not to share the list.  So
nobody can answer the question, because we don't know which choice
on the list is the correct one.

I'll just give you a few solutions to the equation, out of the infinite number
of them that there are:

Each of these lines is 1 solution:

x= -1, y= -11
x=0, y= -6
x=1, y= -1
x=2, y= 4
x=5, y= 19
x=100, y= 494

Consider f(x) = 4x^3 – 5, g(x) = 2x + 5 and h(x) =2x^2+2x. Which statement about (f + g – h) is true?
Natalka [10]

\large{\mathcal{ANSWER:}}

b) It is a cubic function of 4 terms.

  • In this case p(3) = t + 2 is synonymous for p = 3 + 2. Remember p is synonymous for y. So in this equation it is p = 5.

Estimate the solution to the system of equations 7x−y=7 x+2y=6 ​i need help

Answer:

(4/3, 7/3)

  6. Addition

  • Left to Right

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations of using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

7x - y = 7

x + 2y = 6

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

Equation: x + 2y = 6

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2y on both sides:                    x = 6 - 2y

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

7x - y = 7

x = 6 - 2y

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                                7(6 - 2y) - y = 7
  2. Distribute 7:                                                                                                    42 - 14y - y = 7
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                       42 - 15y = 7
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 42 on both sides:                    -15y = -35
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -15 on both sides:                             y = 7/3

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                                                                               x + 2y = 6
  2. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                x + 2(7/3) = 6
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                           x + 14/3 = 6
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 14/3 on both sides:                  x = 4/3

at a store, the probability that a customer buys socks is 0.15. the probability that a customer buys socks given that the custom
leva [86]

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First we assign a name to the events:

Event S: a customer buys socks

Event H: a customer buys shoes.

We know that :

P (S) = 0.15

We also know that the probability of S given that H occurs is:

P(S|H) =\frac{P(S\ and\ H)}{P(H)}=0.20

If two events S and H are independent then:

P (S) * P (H) = P (S\ and\ H)

This mean that if two events S and H are independent then:

P(S|H) =\frac{P(S)*P(H))}{P(H)}

P(S|H) =P(S)

We know that:

P(S|H) =0.20  and P (S) = 0.15

0.20\neq 0.15

This means that S and H events are dependent.

The answer is the option B

Suppose you have $100 in a savings account earning 2 percent interest a year. After five years, would you have more than $102, e
pentagon [3]
You would have more than $102.

Earning 2% a year in interest would get you $2 in interest the very first year:

100(0.02) = 2

Adding this to the amount in the account, you would have 100+2 = 102 after the first year.

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the<br> value of y when x equals -14.<br> -2x + 5y = 8
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = 8

Let x=-14

-2(-14) +5y = 8

28 +5y = 8

Subtract 28 from each side

28-28 +5y = 8-28

5y = -20

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -20/5

y = -4
