The elimination method works by adding the two equations and eliminating one variable. Then you solve an equation in one variable. Finally, you use substitution or elimination again to find the other variable. Sometimes, by simply adding the equations, a variable is not eliminated. Then you need to multiply one or both equations by a factor to get a variable to be eliminated.

A)
2x - 4y = 8
x + 3y = -11

Adding the equations does not eliminate x or y.
Notice that in the first equation, every coefficient is even. We can divide both sides of the first equation by 2. Then the first term would be x. Instead, let's divide both sides of the first equation by -2. Then the x's will be eliminated.

-x + 2y = -4   <-- The first equation divided by -2
x + 3y = -11  <-- The original second equation. Now we add the equations.
----------------
      5y = -15

        y = -3

Now that we know y = -3, we substitute it into the first original equation and solve for x.

2x - 4y = 8

2x - 4(-3) = 8

2x + 12 = 8

2x = -4

x = -2

Answer: x = -2; y = -3

B)
We see that the x's will be eliminated by addition. Just add the equations.

-3x + 7y = 9
 3x  - 7y = 1
---------------
   0 + 0   = 10

0 = 10  <---- this is a false statement, so this system of equations has no solution.

Answer:

<h2>The slope of the line tangent to the function at x = 1 is 2.01 ≅2.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula of derivative, it can be easily shown that, \frac{d f(x)}{dx} = 2 where f(x) = x^{2}.

Here we need to show that as per the instructions in the given table.

Δy = f(x + Δx) - f(x) = f(1 + 0.01) - f(1) = (1 + 0.01)^{2} - 1^{2} = 0.0201.

In the above equation, we have put x = 1 because we need to find the slope of the line tangent at x = 1.

Hence, dividing Δy by Δx, we get, \frac{0.0201}{0.01} = 2.01.

Let's examine this taking a smaller value.

If we take Δx = 0.001, then Δy = 1.001^{2} - 1^{2} =  0.002001.

Thus, \frac{0.002001}{0.001} = 2.001.

The more smaller value of Δx is taken, the slope of the tangent will be approach towards the value of 2.

What is the value of x in the equation 4(2x + 12) = 0? (1 point) Group of answer choices −8 −6 6 8
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x+12)=0 work the () first

8x+48=0 subtract 48 to both sides to get the x by itself

8x=-48  divide by 8

x= -6

Which value of b would make 16x²-bx + 25 a perfect square trinomial?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

b = 40 and -40

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of Perfect square trinomial is a 2 + 2 a b + b 2

Therefore from 16 x 2 − b x + 25 a 2 = √ 16 x 2 , b 2 = 25 , then a = ± 4 x , b = ± 5 take consideration a=4x and b=-5 (different sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( − 5 ) − b x = − 40 x b = 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 − 40 x + 25 .

if we consider a=4x and b=5 (same sign), then − b x = 2 ( 4 x ) ( 5 ) − b x = 40 x b = − 40

The perfect square is ( 4 x + 5 ) 2 = 16 x 2 + 40 x + 25 .

The first solution ( 4 x − 5 ) 2 is the best solution after comparing the expression given.  I hope this helps, xx .

The length of Marshall's rectangular poster is 2 times its width. If the perimeter is 24 inches, what is the area of the poster?
Orlov [11]
Length=2x
width=x
Perimeter of a rectangle=2(length) + 2(width)
We can suggest this equation:
24=2(2x)+2x
24=4x+2x
24=6x
x=24/6
x=4

length=2x=2(4)=8
width=x=4

area of a rectangle=length x width
area of this poster (rectangle)=(8 in)( 4 in)=32 in².

The area of this poster will be: 32 in²
