What is the value of x in the solution to the following system of linear equations

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

Since the equations are equal to each other, let's set them up.

x-1=2x+1; let's add 1 to both sides.

x=2x+2; let's subtract 2x from both sides.

-x=2; we need x to be positive so let's divide it by -1.

x=-2

Let's see what y is and see if x is -2.

y=-2-1=-3

y=-2(-2)+1=-4+1=-3


So, x=-2 and y=-3.

Ivan said that if a number end in 0 both 2 and 5 are factors of the number. Is he correct?why or why not
Nady [450]
This is true. All numbers that end in zero or five are divisible by 5, and a number that ends in zero is even, and all even numbers are divisible by two.

Graphing in Point-Slope Form y−y1=m(x−x1) <br> ​<br> Graph the equation y+7=−45(x−4) ?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

<h2>The graph is in the attachment.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>(x₁, y₁)</em><em> - a point on a line</em>

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept → (0, b)</em>

We have the equation in a point-slope form:

y+7=-\dfrac{4}{5}(x-4)

y-(-7)=-\dfrac{4}{5}(x-4)

Therefore we have one point: <em>(4, -7)</em><em>.</em>

<em>Convert to the slope-intercept form:</em>

y+7=-\dfrac{4}{5}(x-4)              <em>use the distributive property</em>

y+7=-\dfrac{4}{5}x+\left(-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)(-4)

y+7=-\dfrac{4}{5}x+\dfrac{16}{5}

y+7=-\dfrac{4}{5}x+3\dfrac{1}{5}          <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>

y=-\dfrac{4}{5}x-3\dfrac{4}{5}

Put <em>x = -1</em><em> </em>to the equation:

y=-\dfrac{4}{5}(-1)-3\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{4}{5}-3\dfrac{4}{5}=-3

Therefore we have the second point <em>(-1, -3)</em>.
