-3x-y=-17 4x + 2 y equals 20

Mathematics

-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20

multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.

(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20

Now we have:

-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14

Divide -2 on both sides.

-2x = -14
/-2       /-2

x = -7.


=============================================

To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20


4x + 2y = 20

4(-7) + 2y = 20

-28 + 2y = 20

Add 28 on both sides

-28 + 2y = 20
+28          +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2      /2

y = 24.


The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.

You may have to do this by yourself :P

Anyways, if you have any questions about this topic, feel free to PM me or any other users interested. Thank you for being part of Brainly! Have a nice day!

The table shows the height of a plant as it grows. Which equation in point ­slope form gives the plant’s height at any time
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

y-16=8(x-2) is the equation represent the point slope form gives the plant's height at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope intercept form: For any two points (x_1, y_1) and  (x_2, y_2) then,

the general form

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) for linear equations;  where m is the slope given by:

m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Consider any two points from the table;

let A= (2 , 16) and B =(4, 32)

First calculate the slope of the line AB:

m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{32-16}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2} = 8

Therefore, slope of the line m = 8

Then,

the equation of line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the value of m=8 and (2, 16) above we get;

y-16=8(x-2)

Therefore, the equation in point slope form which gives the plant's height at any time is; y-16=8(x-2) , where x is the time(months) and y is the plant height (cm)

Solve on [0,2pi). Answer in order from smallest to biggest<br> cos x sin x = sin x
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

0, π

Step-by-step explanation:

cos x sin x = sin x

cos x sin x - sin x = 0

sin x (cos x - 1) = 0

sin x = 0, x = 0, π

cos x - 1 = 0

cos x = 1, x = 0

So answers: 0, π
