What is the solution of this system 4x+2y=-2 -5x+y=34

Mathematics

Kitty [74]3 years ago

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Solve the bottom equation for y
  • You would just add 5x to both sides so that it cancels out leaving y = 5x + 34

    2. Put your new y equation into your top equation (4x + 2y = -2).  It should now be 4x + 2(5x + 34) = -2.

    3. Then, solve for x.

  • Distribute the 2 into 5x and 34. (Should now be 4x + 10x + 68 = -2).
  • Add the like terms - 4x and 10x. (Now 14x + 68 = -2).
  • Subtract 68 from both sides to get 14x on its own. (Now 14x = -70).
  • Divide both sides by positive 14 to get x on its own and the answer as to what x represents. (x = -5).

Hope that helps!

Use the babylonian method to approximate square root of 24 to the nearest hundredth.
irina [24]
We will start with our guess of 12, since 12*2 = 24.
Divide 24 by 12; 24/12=2.  Average this answer with our guess:  (12+2)/2=7.  This is our new guess.
24/7=3.428571429.  Average this with our guess of 7:  (3.428571429+7)/2=5.214285715.  This is our new guess.
24/5.214285715=4.602739726.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.602739726+5.214285715)/2=4.90851272.  New guess!
24/4.90851272=4.889464766.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.889464766+4.90851272)/2=4.898988743.  New guess!  You can see as we go through our guesses are closer and closer to the same number...)
24/4.898988743=4.898970228.  Averaging:  (4.898970228+4.898988743)/2=4.898979486.  At this point our answer is the same every time down to the hundred-thousandth.  Our estimate to the nearest hundredth would be 4.90.
