The simultaneous equations are
2x - 7y = 4         (1)
3x + y = -17       (2)

Write (2) as
y = - 3x - 17       (3)

Substitute (3) into (1).
2x - 7(-3x - 17) = 4
2x + 21x + 119 = 4
23x = -115
x = -5
This is the equation obtained after substituting y from the second equation into the first equation.
The solution for y is
y = -3(-5) - 17 = -2

Answer: x = -5

Note: The solution is x = -5,  y = -2.

32x2 – 24x = 0<br> What’s the answer to this?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

x=0      x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

32x^2 – 24x = 0

Factor out 8x

8x(4x -3)

Using the zero product property

8x = 0   4x-3 =0

x=0       4x=3

x=0      x = 3/4

Find the values of x and y. ....
alex41 [277]

If you substitute the values x = 0 and y = −5 into the second equation, you get a false statement: 2(−5) − 10 = 2(0). To solve this system, try rewriting the first equation as x = 2y − 8. Then substitute 2y − 8 in for x in the second equation, and solve for y. The correct answer is x = −2, y = 3.
