Substituting (x, y) with (a, a), since we have:

3a=2a-4, which means that 3a-2a=-4, that is a=-4.

So, the point is (-4, -4).

Remark: a point which lies in the graph of an equation is a solution of that equation. So x=a, y=a satisfies the equation <span> 3y = 2x -4, which makes our substitution legitimate.

Answer: </span>(-4, -4).

2x +1 < 5 what would be the inequality for this ?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Hey there!

2x + 1 < 5

SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES

2x + 1 - 1 < 5 - 1

SIMPLIFY IT!
2x < 5 - 1

2x < 4

DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 < 4/2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x < 4/2

x < 2

Therefore, your answer is: x < 2

(The graph is down below)

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Thirteen equals one plus four s

victus00 [196]

13=1+4s
So you find S
So you take out 1, and subtract 1 from thirteen
12=4s so then you divide it by 4
12÷4=3
s=3

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

$y=5^{x}\\y=5^{7}=78125$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = a^{x}, a=5\\y=5^{x}\\y=5^{0}=1\\y=5^{1}=5\\y=5^{2}=25\\y=5^{3}=125\\and\\y=5^{7} = 78125$
