Sorry, but I generally respond to only 1 or 2 problems when someone gives me a long list of homework. It would take you just a little longer to post one problem at a time.
75 5 -375
Let's look at #5: 75 / (-1/5) is the same as -------- = 75 * ------ = --------- -1 -1 1
---
5
and this is equivalent to -375 (answer to #5)
To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y.
x-intercept: (9/4,0)
y-intercept: (0,−9)
Step 1:
Solve one of the equations for either x = or y = .
Step 2:
Substitute the solution from step 1 into the other equation.
Step 3:
Solve this new equation.
Step 4:
Solve for the second variable.
Example 1: Solve the following system by substitution
Substitution Method Example
Solution:
Step 1: Solve one of the equations for either x = or y = . We will solve second equation for y.
solution step 1
Step 2: Substitute the solution from step 1 into the second equation.
solution step 2
Step 3: Solve this new equation.
solution step 3
Step 4: Solve for the second variable
solution step 4
The solution is: (x, y) = (10, -5)
Hope this helps!
