Answer:

x = -6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 – 6x = 8x + 17

-5 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides

-6x = 8x + 12

-8x - 8x Subtract 8x from both sides

-14x = 12 Divide both sides by -14

x = -12/14 Simplify

x = -6/7

Serena wants to solve the following system of equations in the most efficient way.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Serina should have solved for x in the second equation because it has a coefficient of 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2x+3y=18$ ----> equation A

$x+7y=31$ ---> equation B

we know that

To solve the system of equations in the most efficient way, solve for x equation B and then substitute the value of x in equation A

so

$x=31-7y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$2(31-7y)+3y=18$

solve for y

$62-14y+3y=18\\11y=62-18\\11y=44\\y=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in the equation C

$x=31-7(4)=3$

The solution is (3,4)

therefore

Serina should have solved for x in the second equation because it has a coefficient of 1.

PLEASE ANSWER THIS 30 POINTS BRAINLIEST WILL BE GIVEN PICTURE INCLUDED!!

den301095 [7]

The first step is to quickly factor each of the five equations... to do so, find the right factors of the 3rd given number so that they add up in an equal number to the second number... 14 = -7 • -2 and -9 = -7 + -2

a^2 - 9a + 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a - 2)

a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{2,7}

a^2 + 9a + 14 = 0
(a + 7) (a + 2)

a + 7 = 0, a = -7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, -7}

a^2 + 3a - 10 = 0
(a + 5) (a - 2)

a + 5 = 0, a = -5
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{-5, 2}

a^2 - 5a - 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a + 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, 7}
