For 1 and 2, you plot both lines, and wherever they intersect is the solution to the system. Given the equation of a line, I think the easiest way to plot it is to find two points on the line, then draw a line through them. For example, if y=5x-1, then when x=0, you get y=-1; when x=1, you get y=4. So plot the points (0, -1) and (1, 4), then strike a line through.

1. Notice that dividing both sides of 2y=10x-2 by 2 returns y=5x-1, same as the first equation. So the system of equations reduces to one equation, which can have an infinite number of solutions. (This is because for any choice of x or y, you can always find a corresponding value for the other variable.)

2. See attached image. 3x-y=2 is given by the purple line.

For 3-6, you have several options. The two simplest methods of solving them are by substitution or elimination.

3. Like with (1), notice that dividing both sides of the first equation by 2 gives x+3y=9, so there will be an infinite number of solutions.

4. (by substitution) Since y=-7x+3, we can replace y in the second equation:

-7x+3+7x=10\implies3=10

but this is false, so there are no solutions to this system.

5. (by substitution) Since x=2y+2, in the first equation we have

-5(2y+2)+3y=-10y-10+3y=-7y-10=11\implies-7y=21\implies y=-3

Then back in the second equation we find

x=2(-3)+2=-6+2=-4

So (-4, -3) is the only solution here.

6. (by substitution) Notice that the left hand sides of both equations are the same, so we end up with 7 = 12, but this is false, so no solution exists.

How do I do this? please detail steps.

Define
{x} =   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\end{array}\right]

Then
x₁ = cos(t) x₁(0) + sin(t) x₂(0)
x₂ = -sin(t) x₁(0) + cos(t) x₂(0)

Differentiate to obtain
x₁' = -sin(t) x₁(0) + cos(t) x₂(0)
x₂' = -cos(t) x₁(0) - sin(t) x₂(0)

That is,
\dot{x} =   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-sin(t)&cos(t)\\-cos(t)&-sin(t)\end{array}\right] x(0)

Note that
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\-1&09\end{array}\right]   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}cos(t)&sin(t)\\-sin(t)&cos(t)\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-sin(t)&cos(t)\\-cos(t)&-sin(t)\end{array}\right]

Therefore
x(t) =   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&1\\-1&0\end{array}\right] x(t)

A washer and dryer cost $869 combined. The washer cost $81 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
marysya [2.9K]
W+d=869
w=d-81
plug in
(d-81)+d=869
2d-81=869
+81 both sides
2d=950
÷2 both sides
d=475
dryer cost $475

let's check w=475-81
w=394
475+394=869
869=869
the solution is true :)

A farmer wants to build a rectangular garden 10ft long and 6ft wide. How many feet of fencing should he buy?
Lana71 [14]
He should buy 32 feet of fencing. I got 32 by just finding the perimeter or in other words adding 10+10+6+6 which equal 32. You would NOT do area or 10×6 because that would include that land within the fenced area and who wants 60 feet of fencing that you can't put anything in?

Good luck, hope that helped.

Solve x2 + 15x = –56.
Black_prince [1.1K]
15x = 7x + 8x

x^2+15x=-56\\\\ x^2+15x+56=0\\\\ x^2+7x+8x+56=0\\\\x(x+7)+8(x+7)=0\\\\ (x+7)(x+8)=0 \\\\ x=-7 \ or \ x=-8
