6 16x + 5y = -2 4x - y=-2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x=2/9,y=26/9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation

16x+5y=-2..(1)

4x-y=-2...(2)

From (2) make y the subject of formula

y=4x+2..(3)

Substitute (3) into (1)

16x+5(4x+2)=-2

16x+20x+10=-2

36x-10=-2

Add 10 to both sides

36x=8

Divide both sides by 36

x=8/36

Divide both denominator and numerator by 4

x=2/9

Substitute the value x into (3)

y=4(2/9)+2

y=8/9+2

Let the LCM be 9

y=8+18/9

y=26/9

Therefore x=2/9,y=26/9

7) If x-2 is a factor of P(x)= x^2-5x+a then find the value of a
ycow [4]

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that (x - 2) is a factor of P(x) , then P(2) = 0 , that is

P(2) = 2² - 5(2) + a = 0 , so

4 - 10 + a = 0

- 6 + a = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )

a = 6
