- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
y = -3x - 2
5x + 2y = 15
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Substitution</em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15
- Distribute 2: 5x - 6x - 4 = 15
- Combine like terms: -x - 4 = 15
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: -x = 19
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = -19
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define original equation: y = -3x - 2
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = -3(-19) - 2
- Multiply: y = 57 - 2
- Subtract: y = 55

Answer:
g(-1 )=-1 and g(2)+g(1)=7
Step-by-step explanation:
If g(x) = x^3+x^2-x-2 find g(-1)
if we find g(-1)
we substitute all the x's in the function with -1
-1^3+-1^2-(-1)-2
-1^3 = -1
-1^2 = 1
-1+1+1-2
(two minuses make a plus)
-1+1 = 0
0+1 = 1
1-2 = -1
if x=-1, g(-1) is -1
g(2)+g(1)
substitute the x's in the function with 2 and 1 and add your results
2^3+2^2-2-2
2^3 = 8, 2^2 = 4
8+4-2-2
8+4= 12, 12-2 = 10, 10-2 = 8
g(2)=8
g(1) now
1^3 + 1^2-1-2
1^3=1, 1^2 = 1
1+1-1-2
1+1 = 2, 2-1 = 1, 1-2 = -1
g(3) = -1
g(2) (which equals 8) + g(3) (which equals -1) =
8+(-1) = 7
g(2)+g(3)=7
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
