Given the system of linear equations.

Mathematics

Part A:


x + y = 9

4x + y = 6


To solve this system using substitution, begin by isolating either x or y in the first equation. I'll isolate x.


x + y = 9

x = 9 - y


Substitute this expression (9 - y) into the second equation for x and solve.


4x + y = 6

4(9 - y) + y = 6

36 - 4y + y = 6

36 - 3y = 6

-3y = -30

y = 10


To find x, substitute 10 for y into either of the original equations.


x + y = 9

x + 10 = 9

x = -1


Finally, check all work by substituting the x- and y-values into each original equation.


x + y = 9   -->   -1 + 10 = 9   -->   9 = 9   -->   True

4x + y = 6   -->   4(-1) + 10 = 6   -->   -4 + 10 = 6   -->   6 = 6   -->   True


The answer for Part A is x = -1 and y = 10; (-1, 10).


Part B:


For graphing, it's easier to get the equations into slope-intercept form. Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To get our equations into slope-intercept form, we must simply isolate y.


x + y = 9

y = 9 - x

y = -x + 9


4x + y = 6

y = 6 - 4x

y = -4x + 6


Now that we have our slope-intercept equations, we can easily graph them, since their slopes and y-intercepts are readily visible.



Let's start with the y-intercepts. They are (0, 9) and (0, 6). You can plot those points on the graph.


Now, the slopes. The slope of the first line is -1, this means it declines. To plot this, start where you plotted the y-intercept, count one unit down, and then one unit to the right, and plot that point. Continue doing that and connect the dots, and you will have plotted the first line. The slope of the second line is -4, so it also declines. For this line, count four units down, and then one to the right and plot that point. Likewise, continue this and connect the coordinates, and you will have your line. (See attachment for graph.)


The lines do indeed intersect at (-1, 10); our answer is verified by graphing.

If f(x)=(2x^2)-1, find:<br> -f(3x-1)+2
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

-f(3x - 1) + 2 = -18x² + 12x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find f(3x - 1)

f(3x - 1) = 2(3x - 1)² - 1

f(3x - 1) = 2(9x² - 6x + 1) - 1

f(3x - 1) = 18x² - 12x + 2 - 1

f(3x - 1) = 18x² - 12x + 1

Step 2: Plug in f(3x - 1)

-(18x² - 12x + 1) + 2

Step 3: Evaluate

-18x² + 12x - 1 + 2

-f(3x - 1) + 2 = -18x² + 12x + 1

Melania walked her dog 2 1/5 miles. Cathy walked her dog 1 3/4 times as far as Melania did. How many miles did Cathy walk her do
Step2247 [10]
Make the fractions improper to multiply.2 1/5 becomes 11/5 and 1 3/4 becomes 7/4. multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. you get 77/20, which is simplest form. don't let teachers feed you that bs about it having to be a mixed number. an improper fraction is way more useful.
