Answer:
The answer to your question is the first option
Step-by-step explanation:
Original expression
-3/8 (-4 + 1/2)
First option -3/8 (-4) + (3/8)(1/2) This option is not equivalent because
they forgot the negative sign of the
second term.
Second option (-3/8)(-4) + (-3/8)(1/2) This option is equivalent to the
original. Distributive property
Third option (-3/2)(-3 1/2) This option is equivalent to the original
Fourth option (-3/8)(-3) + (-3/8)(-1/2) This option is equivalent to the original
Answer:
(x,y,z) -> (2,4,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
Pick two pairs:
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
and
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
Eliminate the same variable from each system:
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
7x - 6y + 4z = -6
+ 5y - 9z = -3
- 6y + 4z = -6
<u><em>-1y - 5z = - 9</em></u>
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + 5y - 9z = -3
-7x + y + z = -9
7x - 5y + 9z = 3
<u><em>-4y - 10z = -6</em></u>
Solve the system of the two new equations:
-1y - 5z = - 9 -> -4 ( -1y - 5z = - 9) -> 4y + 20z = 36
-4y - 10z = -6 -> -4y - 10z = -6 -> -4y - 10z = -6
10z = 30
Thus, z = 3
-4y - 10z = -6
-4y - 10(3) = -6
-4y - 30 = -6
-4y = 24
Thus, y = -6
Substitute into one of the original equations:
-7x + y + z = -9
-7x + (-6) + (3) = -9
7x + -3 = -9
7x = -6
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be 40
-4(-2) = 8
8(5) = 40
Answer:
See method below.
Step-by-step explanation:
m/n + n/3 = 2
2/m + n = 4
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the first equation by 3n:-
3m + n^2 = 6n...........(1)
and the second equation by m:-
2 + mn = 4m..............(2)
Now we solve using substitution:-
From equation (2):-
4m - mn = 2
m = 2 / (4 - n)
Now substitute for m in equation (1):-
6/ (4 - n) + n^2 = 6n
6 + n^2(4 - n) = 6n(4 - n)
6 + 4n^2 - n^3 = 24n - 6n^2
n^3 - 10n^2 + 24n - 6 = 0
This will not factor so we could solve this using graphical software.
To find the values of the variable m we substitute the found values of n into one of the original equations and solve for m.
