Solve the system of equations.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

b. x=1, y=2, z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations ...

3x +2y +z = 10
9x -6y +z = 0
x -y -3z = -10

has solution (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3) . . . . matches choice B.

_____

While it is convenient to solve this using a graphing calculator or web site, one can easily solve the system by hand.

Subtract the second equation from 3 times the first:

3(3x +2y +z) -(9x -6y +z) = 3(10) -(0)

12y + 2z = 30 . . . . simplify

Dividing this result by 2 gives ...

6y +z = 15 . . . . . . [eq4]

Subtract 3 times the third equation from the first:

(3x +2y +z) -3(x -y -3z) = (10) -3(-10)

5y +10z = 40 . . . . simplify

y + 2z = 8 . . . . . . . divide by 5 . . . . . [eq5]

The two equations [eq4] and [eq5] can be solved any of the ways you usually solve two equations in two variables. Here, we'll use the first equation to write an expression for z that we can substitute into the second equation.

z = 15 -6y . . . . . subtract 6y from [eq4]

y + 2(15 -6y) = 8 . . . . . substitute for z in [eq5]

-11y +30 = 8 . . . . . simplify

-11y = -22 . . . . . . . subtract 30

y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

z = 15 -6(2) = 3 . . . . substitute for y in our equation for z

Substituting these values for y and z into the third original equation gives ...

x - 2 -3(3) = -10

x -11 = -10 . . . . . . . . simplify

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11

The solution to the above system of equations is (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3).

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Math is generally unforgiving of imprecision. The given system of equations has no variable "z", and some other typos are apparently involved. That is why we rewrote the system to the equations shown above.

It is very easy to mistake z for 2, or g for 9, or o for 0, or 1 for 7. There are other confusions that are possible, as well. Letters I (eye) and l (ell) are easily confused, and may be confused with 1 (one) as well. Sometimes y and 4, or 4 and 9, can also be written so as to be difficult to tell apart. Great care must be taken when handwriting these symbols.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x + y > 8 ? Choose all answers that are correct.

gtnhenbr [62]

Hi again!

2x + y > 8

The correct answer is option D
-------------------------------------------

Honestly I don't think we can solve the equation to find the answer. What we can do is to find the boundary line. (I think you know what that is) After that, shading the appropriate area.

y > -2x + 8

Again, credit to my beautiful graphing calculator. Here is how it looks like.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}x+16=37$

63 Jelly Beans

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x

First he had x jelly beans

The he ate one-third of them

$\frac{1}{3}x$

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16$

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16=37$

This is the equation

Now solve for x

Subtract 16 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x=21$

Multiply both sides by 3

$x=63$
