STatiana [176]3 years ago

Answer:

Solution = ( 0, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

You made one tiny error. When you were attempting to substitute your y value, 4, to derive the x - value, you took the second equation. However, that second equation was x + 2y = 8, when you substituted y as 4 you rewrote this equation as x + 2( 4 ) = 12, instead it should have been x + 2( 4 ) = 8!

If you would like, let me explain how to get the right answer;

x + 2 * ( 4 ) = 8,\\x + 8 = 8,\\x = 8 - 8 = 0\\\\x = 0, y = 4\\Solution = ( 0, 4 )

And as for your " check " let us substitute these values into both the equations, for true confirmation;

- 5 * ( 0 ) + 3 * ( 4 ) = 12,\\0 + 12 = 12,\\12 = 12\\Correct!\\\\0 + 2 * ( 4 ) = 8,\\0 + 8 = 8,\\8 = 8\\Correct!

Find a compound proposition involving the propositional variables p, q, and r that is true when exactly two of p, q, and r are t
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Consider the proposition C=(p∧q∧¬r)∨(p∧¬q∧r)∨(¬p∧q∧r)

Step-by-step explanation:

This compound proposition C uses the outer disjunction (∨) then the proposition is true if and only if one of the three propositions (p∧q∧¬r),(p∧¬q∧r),(¬p∧q∧r) is true.

First, it is impossible that two or three of these propositions are simultaneously true. For example, if (p∧q∧¬r) and (p∧¬q∧r) are both true, then ¬r is true (from the first conjuntion) and r is true (from the second one), a contradiction. All the other possibilities can be discarded reasoning in the same way.

Since these propositions are mutually excluyent, C is true if and only if exactly one of the three propositions is true (and false otherwise). This can only happen if exactly two of p,q, and r are true and the other one is false. For example, (p∧q∧¬r) is true when p and q are true, and r is false.

-6n-20=-2n+4 (1-3n)<br> how do you solve it?
Leona [35]
6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6n−20=−2n+4(1−3n)

−6n+−20=−2n+(4)(1)+(4)(−3n)(Distribute)

−6n+−20=−2n+4+−12n

−6n−20=(−2n+−12n)+(4)(Combine Like Terms)

−6n−20=−14n+4

−6n−20=−14n+4

Add 14n to both sides.

−6n−20+14n=−14n+4+14n

8n−20=4

Add 20 to both sides.

8n−20+20=4+20

8n=24

Divide both sides by 8.

8n/8 = 24/8

n=3

-8 -8x + 10 + 6x = 19
hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = -8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rearrange the question to find x :)

-8x + 6x + 10 - 8 = 19

-2x + 2 = 19

-2             -2

-2x = 17

/-2      /-2

x = -8.5
