-3x-2y=-1 4x+6y=12 what’s all the steps and answer to this equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -9/5

y = 16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-2y=-1            first you need to multiply the numerator by 3 so when adding

4x+6y=12           the y's cancel and you get a single variable

3(-3x-2y=-1)     —>  -9x - 6y = -3     then you add the like terms

 4x+6y=12      —>   4x + 6y = 12

(-9x+4x) + (6y - 6y) = (-3 + 12)

-5x = 9  then you divide by -5

x = -9/5

then you plug this in to either equation

4(-9/5) + 6y = 12

-36/5 + 6y = 12   then you add 36/5 to both sides

6y = 96/5  then you divide by 6

y = 16/5

The graph below represents the solution set of which inequality?
natulia [17]

Answer:

option: B (x^2+2x-8) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the solution set as seen from the graph as:

(-4,2)

1)

On solving the first inequality we have:

x^2-2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8

⇒  x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

⇒ (x+2)(x-4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4

i.e. x>-2 and x<4

so we have the region as:

(-2,4)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4>0

i.e. x<-2 and x>4

Hence, we did not get a common region.

Hence from both the cases we did not get the required region.

Hence, option 1 is incorrect.

2)

We are given the second inequality as:

x^2+2x-8

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)

⇒ (x-2)(x+4)

And we know that the product of two quantities are negative if either one of them is negative so we have two cases:

case 1:

x-2>0 and x+4

i.e. x>2 and x<-4

Hence, we do not get a common region.

Case 2:

x-2 and x+4>0

i.e. x<2 and x>-4

Hence the common region is (-4,2) which is same as the given option.

Hence, option B is correct.

3)

x^2-2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2-4x+2x-8>0

⇒ x(x-4)+2(x-4)>0

⇒ (x-4)(x+2)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x+2>0 and x-4>0

i.e. x>-2 and x>4

Hence, the common region is (4,∞)

Case 2:

x+2 and x-4

i.e. x<-2 and x<4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-2)

Hence, from both the cases we did not get the desired answer.

Hence, option C is incorrect.

4)

x^2+2x-8>0

On using the method of splitting the middle term we have:

x^2+4x-2x-8>0

⇒ x(x+4)-2(x+4)>0

⇒ (x-2)(X+4)>0

And we know that the product of two quantities are positive if either both of them are negative or both of them are positive so we have two cases:

Case 1:

x-2 and x+4

i.e. x<2 and x<-4

Hence, the common region is: (-∞,-4)

Case 2:

x-2>0 and x+4>0

i.e. x>2 and x>-4.

Hence, the common region is: (2,∞)

Hence from both the case we do not have the desired region.

Hence, option D is incorrect.

balu736 [363]
There as 16 cards, 2 of which are wildlife cards, so the ratio is 16 : 2. We can simplify it by dividing both sides by 2, so we'll get the ratio of 8 : 1.

I hope this helps! :)
