Answer:
x = 2
,
y = −
3
Step-by-step explanation
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Point Form: (
2
,
−
3
)
Equation Form: x = 2
,
y = −
3
2(7/2)^x = 49/2
Divide both sides by 2:
(7/2)^x = 49/4
I notice that 49/4 can be rewritten as (7/2)^2, so we now have:
(7/2)^x = (7/2)^2
The only way for this to be true is if x = 2. Thus, we are done.
You set 49 equal to 8x - 15
So
8x - 15 = 49
+15 + 15
8x = 64
Then divide by 8
X= 8
