Answer: x = -1 , y = 8✔️

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

We can extract the value of x from the equation 2:

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

6x = 18 - 3y

x = (18 - 3y)/6 } Equation 2

Then we can substitute this value of x in equation 1:

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

-12·(18 - 3y)/6 - 2y = -4

-36 + 6y -2y = -4

4y = -4 + 36

4y = 32

y = 32/4 = 8

Now we can substitute this value of y in equation 2:

x = (18 - 3y)/6 } Equation 2

x = (18 - 3·8)/6 = (18 -24)/6 = -6/6 = -1

Answer: x = -1 , y = 8✔️

<h3>Check </h3>

We can check this result by substituting these values of x and y into the equations:

-12x - 2y = -4 } Equation 1

-12·(-1) - 2·8 = -4 ► 12 - 16 = -4✔️ checked!

6x + 3y = 18 } Equation 2

6·(-1) + 3·8 = 18 ► -6 + 24 = 18✔️ checked!

Determine whether the equation defines y as a function of x. x+y=9 and x^2+y^2=1 and x=y^2

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Function: $x+y=9$

Not Function: $x^2+y^2=1$ and $x=y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x+y=9$

$x^2+y^2=1$

$x=y^2$

Required

Determine if $y$ is a function of $x$

Solving x+y=9

$x+y=9$

Make y the subject of formula

$y = 9 - x$

Hence; y is a function of x

Solving $x^2+y^2=1$

$x^2+y^2=1$

Subtract x² from both sides

$y^2=1 - x^2$

Square root of both sides

$y =\± \sqrt{1 - x^2}$

This implies that

$y =\sqrt{1 - x^2}$ or $y =-\sqrt{1 - x^2}$

Because $y$ can be any of those two expressions, it is not a function.

Solving $x=y^2$

$x=y^2$

Reorder

$y^2 = x$

Take square roots

$y = \±\sqrt{x}$

This implies that

$y = \sqrt{x}$ or $y = -\sqrt{x}$

Because $y$ can be any of those two expressions, it is not a function.
