Answer:

x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for z:

{x - 3 y + z = -15

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Solve for z.

Subtract x - 3 y from both sides:

{z = 3 y + (-x - 15)

2 x + y - z = -2

x + y + 2 z = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute z = -15 - x + 3 y into the second and third equations:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = 1.

x + y + 2 (-15 - x + 3 y) = x + y + (-30 - 2 x + 6 y) = -30 - x + 7 y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

15 + 3 x - 2 y = -2

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 15 - 2 y from both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

3 x = 2 y - 17

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 3:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

-30 - x + 7 y = 1

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3 into the third equation:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the third equation, look to solve for y:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 - 73/3 = 1

Hint: | Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.

Add 73/3 to both sides:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

(19 y)/3 = 76/3

Hint: | Solve for y.

Multiply both sides by 3/19:

{z = -15 - x + 3 y

x = (2 y)/3 - 17/3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 4 into the first and second equations:

{z = -x - 3

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -3 into the first equation:

{z = 0

x = -3

y = 4

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer:  {x = -3 , y = 4 , z = 0

What is the equation of a line that contains the point (2,1) and is perpendicular to the line: y = 3x – 4?
jeka57 [31]
Y = 3x - 4.....the slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the slope and change the sign. So we will need a slope of -1/3...see how I flipped the slope of 3/1 and made it 1/3...and then changed the sign, making it -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/3(2) + b
1 = -2/3 + b
1 + 2/3 = b
3/3 + 2/3 = b
5/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 5/3

How to do this math exercise 4x-2y=60<br> 4x-3y=26
igomit [66]
4x -2y = 60
4x -3y = 26
(-) (+) (-)
__________
1y = 34
y = 34

To find x
4x -2y = 60
4x -(2)(34) = 60
4x -68 = 60
4x = 60 + 68
4x = 128
x = 32

Answer:
x=32 ; y=34

1.Graph f(x) = -1.5x +6<br> 2.Graph f(x) = -1/2x-5
nalin [4]

Ans(1):

Given equation is f(x)=-1.5x+6

we can plug any number like x=0 and x=2 to find the f(x) also called y-value

plug x=0

f(x)=-1.5x+6 =-1.5*0+6 =0+6 =6

Hence first point is (0,6)

plug x=2

f(x)=-1.5x+6 =-1.5*2+6 =-3+6 =3

Hence first point is (2,3)

now we can graph both points then join them to get final graph of f(x)=-1.5x+6

---------------------

Ans(2):

We can repeat exactly same process for f(x) = -1/2x-5.

So the final graph will look like attached picture:

P(x)=(x-2)(x-3)(x+7) find the constant term
hram777 [196]
Short method: multiply constants
= ( - 2) \times ( - 3) \times (7) \\  = 6 \times 7 \\  = 42

Long mothod: expand it
= ( {x}^{2} - 5x + 6)(x + 7) \\  = ... \\  =  ... + 42
