Answer: x = 7, y = -3, z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

EQ 1: 3x + 4y - z = 8 solve for z

+z -8 +z - 8

3x + 4y - 8 = z

EQ 3: 5x + y - 2z = 30 substitute 3x + 4y - 8 for z and solve for x

5x + y - 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 30

5x + y - 6x - 8y + 16 = 30

-x - 7y + 16 = 30

-16 -16

-x - 7y = 14

+7y +7y

-x = 7y + 14

x = -7y - 14

EQ 2: x - 5y + 2z = 24 substitute 3x+4y - 8 for z and -7y - 14 for x

(-7y - 14) - 5y + 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 24

-7y - 14 - 5y + 6(-7y - 14) + 8y - 16 = 24

-7y - 14 - 5y - 42y - 84 + 8y - 16 = 24

-46y - 114 = 24

+114 +114

-46y = 138

÷-46 ÷-46

y = -3

x = -7y - 14

= -7(-3) - 14

= 21 - 14

= 7

z = 3x + 4y - 8

= 3(7) + 4(-3) - 8

= 21 - 12 - 8

= 1

what is the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,2) and(1,5)

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = $\frac{5-2}{1+3}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (1, 5 ), then

5 = $\frac{3}{4}$ + c ⇒ c = 5 - $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{17}{4}$

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$ ← in slope-intercept form

Which two binomials in part A didn't have an equivalent factored form? What made these expressions different from the

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The binomials 16x2 + 9 and x2 + 16 didn’t have an equivalent factored form. Both are sums of perfect squares instead of differences.

Solve by substitution

goldenfox [79]

Ok here it is:
4x-5y=40
2x+10y=20
I used the second equation and decided to get x
2x+10y=20
Subtract 10y from both sides.
2x=-10y+20
Divide both sides by 2
x=-5y+10
Put that in for x for first equation
4(-5y+10)-5y=40
Distribute the 4
-20y+40 -5y =40
Combine like terms
-25y+40=40
Subtract 40 from both sides
-25y=0
Divide by -25 on both sides
y=0
Substitute the y in for the 2nd equation
2x+10(0)=20
2x=20
Divide both sides by 2
x=10
So x=10 and y=0
