1.4x + 1.2x - 3.8 = -9

4 0

First, to make the equation easier to read, you want to add the x’s together. you should then get 2.6x-3.8=-9. then, you want to add the 3.8 to both sides, to make the x stand alone. you should end up with 2.6x=-5.2. to find x, you then want to divide both sides by 2.6. your final answer after dividing should be x=-2

Systems of equations with graphing

Answer:

x= negative 1 and 2/5 y=1 and 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start by putting both equations into slope-intercept form. (y=mx+b)

-3x+3y=9

-3x+3x+3y=9+3x

3y=9+3x

3y/3=9+3x/3

y=3+x

2x-7y=-14

2x-2x-7y=-14-2x

-7y=-14-2x

-7y/-7=-14/-7-2x/-7

y=2+2/7x

2. Graph the equations and find where they intercept.

If y-3x=9, 7x+y=25, what is the value of x and y?

lianna [129]

$\bold{\rm{Given}}\text{ : If y - 3x = 9, 7x + y = 25, what is the value of x and y}?$

$\bold{\rm{Solution}} \text{: We'll solve this by substitution method}$

$\dashrightarrow y - 3x = 9 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \boxed{y = 9 + 3x } \qquad .. \sf eq(1)$

$\text{we got the value of y now getting the value of x}$

$\looparrowright 7x + y = 25 \\ \\ \looparrowright 7x = 25 - y \\ \\ \looparrowright \boxed{x = \frac{25 - y}{7}} \qquad .. \sf eq(2)$

$\text{Now, putting y = 9 + 3x in eq(2)}$

$\hookrightarrow x = \frac{25 - y}{7} \\ \\ \hookrightarrow x = \frac{25 - 9 + 3x}{7} \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 7x = 25 - 9 + 3x \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 7x - 3x = 16 \\ \\ \hookrightarrow 4x = 16 \\ \\ \hookrightarrow x = \frac{16}{4} \\ \\ \star \quad \boxed{ \green{ \frak{ x = 4}}}$
