-x- y=-4 -2x+y=-5 How do you it for solving eliminating

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination is a method of solving systems where we add or subtract the two equations to "eliminate" one of the variables.

Take a look at our system. We have a -y and a +y. If we added those together, they would cancel!

-x- y=-4

-2x+y=-5   +

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

-3x + 0y = -9

It worked! No more y. Solve for x!

-3x = -9

<u>x = 3</u>

Plug x back in to get y.

-x - y = -4

-3 - y = -4

-y = -1

<u>y = 1</u>

Find the equation of the line passing
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

  y = 4x -14

Step-by-step explanation:

The required answer form is slope-intercept form, so we need the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

The slope equation is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (10 -2)/(6 -4) = 8/2 = 4

The y-intercept equation is ...

  b = y - mx

  b = 2 -4(4) = -14

The equation of the line is y = 4x -14.

Stabiliti daca marimile ale caror valori sunt trecute in tabelele urmatoare sunt direct proportionale.
kvv77 [185]

Vă rugăm să găsiți imaginea întrebării atașate mai jos:

Răspuns:

A este proporțională

B este proporțională

C nu este proporțional

D este proporțional

E nu este proporțională

F este proporțional

Explicație pas cu pas:

Pentru a determina proporționalitatea:

Obținem constanta proporționalității

Pentru valorile din tabelul 1;

Luând primul punct:

x = 1; y = 5

1 α 5

1 = 5k

k = 1/5

Test:

y = 15

x = k * y

x = 1/5 * 15; x = 3

Prin urmare; (a) este proporțională

B.)

x = 2; y = 6

2 α 6

2 = 6k

k = 2/6

k = 1/3

Test:

y = 15

x = k * y

x = 1/3 * 15; x = 5

Prin urmare; (b) este proporțională

C.)

x = 2; y = 6

7 α 3,5

7 = 3,5k

k = 7 / 3,5

k = 2

Test:

y = 5

x = 2 * 3.5

x = 7

Prin urmare; (c) nu este proporțională

x = 0,5; y = 1

0,5 α 1

0,5 = k

Test:

y = 4

x = k * y

x = 0,5 * 4; x = 2

Prin urmare; (d) este proporțională

x = 0,2; y = 2

0,2 α 2

0,2 = 2k

k = 0,2 / 2

k = 0,1

Test:

y = 4,5

x = 0,1 * 4,5

x = 0,45

Prin urmare; (e) nu este proporțională

x = 1; y = 12

1 α 12

1 = 12k

k = 1/12

Test:

y = 84

x = 1/12 * 84

x = 7

Prin urmare; (f) este proporțională

In the expression below, a is an integer. 12^3+ax-20 if 3x+4 is a factor of the expession above, what is the value of a
SVEN [57.7K]

Our function is:

f(x)=12^3+ax-20

Now, if 3x+4 is a factor of f(x) then x=\frac{-4}{3} must satisfy the equation:

So, f(\frac{-4}{3} )=0

Putting x=\frac{-4}{3}

We get,

f(\frac{-4}{3} )=12^3+a(\frac{-4}{3} )-20=0

12^3+\frac{-4}{3} a-20=0

\frac{-4}{3} a=20-12^3=20-1708

a=-1708 \times \frac{-3}{4} =1281

So, the value of 'a' for the given expression is 1281.
