Solve the system of equations.y= 2x + 4y = x2 + x - 2​

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+4

y=x^2+x-2

Both equations are solved for y so I'm just going to substitute

the 1st  y  (the 2x+4) into the second equation's y.

2x+4=x^2+x-2

I'm going to get everything on one side so I have 0=ax^2+bx+c.

Subtract 2x and subtract 4 on both sides:

0=x^2-x-6

Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1, all we have to do is find two numbers that multiply to be -6 and add up to be -1.

These numbers are -3 and 2.

So the factored form of our equation is:

0=(x-3)(x+2)

This means we have x-3=0 or x+2=0.

x-3=0

Add 3 on both sides:

x=3

x+2=0

Subtract 2 on both sides:

x=-2

So now we need to find y. I'm going to choose to use the easier equation:

y=2x+4.

If x=3, then y=2(3)+4=6+4=10.  The ordered pair (3,10) is a solution.

If x=-2, then y=2(-2)+4=-4+4=0.  The orded pair (-2,0) is a solution.

Eli has saved $8 more than 1/3 of Angela's savings.If they each save $10 more Eli will have saved &4 more than Angela's savi
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Eli has saved $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.

A for Angela and E for ELi

So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>

From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>

So, we can solve both equations;

Equation 1: E = \frac{1}{3}A + 8

Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14

and then E = A + 4

The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.

Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;

A + 4 - ( \frac{1}{3}A + 8) = E - E

\frac{2}{3}A - 4 = 0

\frac{2}{3}A = 4

A = 4 × \frac{3}{2} = 6

So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10

So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.

If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.

Write an equation for each line
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m has a slope of -2 and a y intercept of 4

y = -2x + 4

n has a slope of 1 and a y intercept of -1

y = 1x - 1

y = x - 1

Ah!... the invisible questions in a sideways posted image.

t has a slope of zero and a y intercept of 3

y = 0x + 3

y = 3

p has infinite slope and no y intercept.

x = -5

What is the slope of the line which passes through (4, 7) and (2, 3)? (5 points)
Basile [38]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 7)

m = \frac{7-3}{4-2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2
