So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x  + -10.

So now the answer would be 10 = -10.

Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Slope <em>m</em> = -5/4

y-intercept <em>b</em> = 3

<u>Algebra I</u>

Equality Properties

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Standard Form]   -5x - 4y = -12

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

  1. Add 5x to both sides:                    -4y = 5x - 12
  2. Divide -4 on both sides:                y = -5/4x + 3

<u>Step 3: Identify</u>

<em>Break apart the function.</em>

Slope <em>m</em> = -5/4

y-intercept <em>b</em> = 3

What is the first step in solving the equation
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

First Step: separate x^2 from -16

Second Step: add -16/25 to the other side.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 16/25 = 0

^^ this might be easier if you separate x^2 and -16

<em>First Step-</em>

so rewrite the problem as x^2/25  -16/25 = 0

then...

<em>Second Step-</em>

add -16/25 to the other side. This makes it: x^2/25 = 16/25

<em>Continuation-</em>

Now, you can multiply 25 on both sides to cancel it out.

so you have x^2 = -16

Message me if you want to solve for x.

How do you do this problem?
aev [14]

f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 1

g(x) = -(1/4) ( x - 4)^2 + 4

both the x and y values have to be the same. Start with the y values

f(x) = g(x)

(x - 4)^2 - 1 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 4 Add 1 to both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = -(1/4) (x - 4)^2 + 5 Add 1/4(x - 4)^2 to both sides.

(5/4) (x - 4)^2 = 5 Divide by 5/4 on both sides.

(x - 4)^2 = 5//(5/4)

(x - 4)^2 = (5/1)//5/4 Invert the second fraction and multiply

(x - 4)^2 = 5/1 * 4/5

(x - 4)^2 = 4 The 5s cancel

(x - 4)^2 = 4 Take the square root of both sides.

(x - 4) = +/- 2 Add 4 to each answer. Start with +2 on the right.

x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

x = 4 + 2 = 6

The x value that makes f(x)- g(x) = 0 is x = 6 The point is (6,3) answer.

Answer C.

================================================

You do not need this next part. It is just for completeness.

x - 4 = - 2

x = 4 -2

x = 2

What are the y values for these 2 x values?

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (6 - 4)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The point where f(x) - g(x) = 0 is (6,3) <<<<<< Answer 1

The second point is

y = (x - 4)^2 - 1

y = (2 - 4)^2 - 1

y = (-2)^2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

The second point is (2,3). Answer 2

Note the y values are the same. You might expect that.

Use Cramer's rule to find the solution to the following system of linear equations.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x = 53

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(I):-

Given equations are

x -2y =-7 ...(I)

5x-9y =-5 ..(ii)

The matrix form  AX = B

                    \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2\\ 5  & -9\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-7\\-5\\\end{array}\right]

The determinant

= \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2\\5&-9\\\end{array}\right| = -9+10 =1

By using Cramer's Rule

Δ₁ =      \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-7&-2\\\\-5&-9\end{array}\right]



The determinant is     Δ₁ = -9 X -7 - (10 ) = 53

x = Δ₁ / Δ

x = 53

The determinant

Δ₂ =



Δ₂ = -5 +35

     

 

y = Δ₂/Δ =  30
