(7, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 4y = 10 → (1)

- 2x + y = - 15 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates the term in x, that is

5y = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = - 1

Substitute y = - 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 4(- 1) = 10

2x - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 7

Solution is (7, - 1 )

|5x|+5=45<br><br> can you explain this absloute value equation <br> i have a midterm
Ymorist [56]
So first, you get the absolute value to one side:
|5x|+5=45\\&#10;|5x|=40

Next, set up two equations; One where the value inside the absolute value lines is positive, and another where it is negative, and solve both for the variable:
|5x|=40\\5x=40\\x=\frac{40}{5}=8\\\\-5x=40\\x=\frac{40}{-5}=-8

Your answers are 8 and -8, or +-8.

What is the linear function equation represented by the graph? Graph of a line on a coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis rang
salantis [7]
The 2-point form of the equation of a line is
.. y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)*(x -x1) +y1
For your points (x1, y1) = (0, 3) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5), this is
.. y = (5 -3)/(3 -0)*(x -0) +3
.. y = (2/3)x +3

Written as a function, it is
.. f(x) = (2/3)x +3

Determine if the function f(x)=x+4 is increasing or decreasing on the interval of 2≤x≤5. Justify your answer.
Rudik [331]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The function is f(x)=x+4

for x_2>x_1, we will check the values of f(x_1) and f(x_2)

Take 3 and 4

f(4)=4+4\\f(4)=8

Similarly,

f(3)=3+4\\f(3)=7

Thus, f(4)>f(3)

Also, f'(x) is 1 i.e. a constant value. So, the function is increasing linearly for the given interval.
