This is the best I got Require to make 2 equations with the same repeating part and subtract them to eliminate the repeating part.
begin by letting x = 0.5555555................. (1)
To obtain the same repeating part after the decimal point need to multiply by 10
hence 10x = 5.555555........................(2)
It is important to obtain 2 equations in x, where the recurring part after the decimal points are exactly the same.
now subtract (1) from (2) to obtain fraction
(2) - (1) : <span>9x=5⇒x=<span><span>59</span></span></span>
Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
