Answer:

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey here!!

Given is 3x = y - 5......(i)

And x= -4.

Substituting the value of x in equation (i). We get,

$3 \times ( - 4) = y - 5$

$- 12 = y - 5$

Therefore, y = -7.

Answer:

$x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ when the equation is $0=ax^2+bx+c$

The given equation is $1=-2x+3x^2+1$ . Let's first arrange this so its format looks like $y=ax^2+bx+c$ :

$1=-2x+3x^2+1$

$1=3x^2-2x+1$

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

$1-1=3x^2-2x+1-1\\0=3x^2-2x+0$

Now, we can easily identify 3 as a, -2 as b and 0 as c. Plug these into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x=\frac{-(-2)\±\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(3)(0)} }{2(3)}$

I hope this helps!

Am I right or wrong (don't answer the last one!)

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1) Distributive Property of Multiplication (The terms are distributed)

2) Addition property of equality (Adding 14 to both sides)

3) Simplifying (We simplified the expression)

4) Division property of equality (Dividing both sides by 6)

$\frac{3x}{x - 1} + 2 = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$\frac{3x}{x - 1} + \frac{2(x - 1) }{ x - 1} = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$\frac{3x}{x - 1} + \frac{2x - 2}{ x - 1} = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$\frac{3x + 2x - 2}{ x - 1} = \frac{3}{x - 1}$

$3x + 2x - 2 = 3$

$5x - 2 = 3$

$5x = 3 + 2$

$5x = 5$

$x = \frac{5}{5}$

$x = 1$
