First Multiply the whole second equation(x+y=9) by negative 2
so now you'll have -2x-2y=-18
using the second equation, you'll then subtract the first and second equations
so the x's will cancel out and you'll have -y=-7 which simplifies to y=7
with already having y then use the easiest equation (x+y=9) and plug 7 into the equation
so it will look like x+7=9
Subtract 7 from both sides of the equal sign and x will equal 2

In elimination method you add/subtract both equations to cancel out a variable so you can solve for 1 variable.

since there is +y in the first equation and +y in the second equation, you can subtract both equations from eachother to only be left with x values:

  (2x+y=11)            (subtract each term)
- (x+y=9)

you get x=2.

now sub in x=2 to any of the 2 equations to find what y is.

2(2)+y=11
y=7

so the answer is (2,7) which means the 2 lines intersect at the point (2,7)

Using the quadratic formula to solve 11x2 – 4x = 1, what are the values of x?
sergiy2304 [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

x1=0.53\\x2=-0.17

<h2>Why?</h2>

The quadratic formula is:

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}

We have that:

a=11\\b=-4\\c=-1

By substituting we have:

x=\frac{4+-\sqrt{-4^{2}-4*11*-1 } }{2*11}=\frac{4+-\sqrt{16+44} }{22}=\frac{4+-\sqrt{60} }{22}=\frac{4+-(7.75)}{22}

x1=\frac{4+7.75}{22}=0.53\\\\x2=\frac{4-7.75}{22} =-0.17

Have a nice day!

What is the value of x when solving the Equation 2x + 1 = -x + 4 Using the Algebra tiles
Tema [17]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x+1=−x+4

Step 1: Add x to both sides.

2x+1+x=−x+4+x

3x+1=4

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

3x+1−1=4−1

3x=3

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x

3

=

3

3

x=1

The town of winters has a total population of 4026. if 1342 children live in winters, rounded to the nearest whole percent, what
anyanavicka [17]
The answer would be 1/3 of the population is children. All you need to do to solve this problem is divide the portion of the population (in this case, children) by the total of the population. Therefore, you have 1342/4026 which reduces to 1/3. If you would like to represent this as a percent, it would be approximately 33.33%

I need help on #17 can someone please help me?

Answer:

t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

h = -16t²+36t+1

Next, we are asked to find how long the ball was in the air (the time, in seconds) if Casey caught the ball 9 feet above the ground (9 feet is the height).

Therefore, as 9 is the height, we can plug that into our equation to get

9 = -16t²+36t+1

To make this a quadratic equation that is easy to factor, we can subtract 9 from both sides to get

-16t²+36t-8=0

To factor this, we need to find two values that add up to 36 and multiply to (-16)*(-8) = 128. With a little guess and check, I found the numbers 32 and 4 to work well. We can then make the equation

-16t²+32t+4t-8=0

-16t(t-2) + 4(t-2) = 0

(-16t+4)(t-2) = 0

Therefore, to solve for the equation being 0, or 9 = -16t²+36t+1, either (t-2) or (-16t+4) must equal 0

t-2 = 0

t=2

-16t+4 = 0

-16t = -4

t = 1/4

Therefore, t=1/4 and/or t=2. To figure out which one it is (or both!), we can take into account that the question states "on its way down". This means that the ball goes up and then down, and we want to find t when it is going down. Using the knowledge that a ball that is hit goes up and then down, as well as that -16t²+36t-8=0 is a quadratic equation with 2 solutions, we can say that the higher value of t (t=2) represents when the ball is going down
