Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+4y=0
substitute y with 0
2x+4(0)=0
solve the equation
2x+0=0
2x=0
divide by 2 on both sides
x=0
4x+8y=7
substitute y with 0
4x+8(0)=7
solve the equation
4x+0=7
4x=7
divide by 4 on both sides
x=7/4 or x=1 3/4 or x=1.75
3x-7y=-29
2x+2y=6
solve the bottom equation
3x-7y=-29
x=3-y
substitute for x
3(3-y)-7y=-29
solve the equation
y=19/5
now substitute for y
x=3-
solve for x
x=-4/5
the possible solution of the system is the ordered pair
(x,y)=(
)
So let's start by guesstimating the slopes:
the green line has a slope close to -x, but more negative than that, possibly -2; the pink line has a slope close to +x, but higher towards +2.
Next let's look at the solution: the two lines intersect at the point (1, -1).
**you could just simple plug that x (1) into all the equations, but let's rule out answers anyway. ;)
A) is incorrect because the slopes of -1 and +1 are off from out predicted -2 and +2
B) is incorrect because of a similar reason, the slopes of +3 and +1 don't make any sense
C) Ooh, we do have a +2 and -2 for the slopes, and... violà! plug in 1 for the x's and we get -1 for the y in both equations
D) slopes are closer than in A and B, but plugging in 1 doesn't get us -1
So the correct answer is:
C) y = 2x - 3 and y = −2x + 1
1 = 4
a2 = -2(a1) - 1
a2 = -2(4) - 1
a2 = -9
a3 = -2(a2) - 1
a3 = -2(9) - 1
a3 = -19
Can you do a4 and a5 and answer?
Answer:
3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5 = 12
-- minues five from both sides --
2x = 7
-- divide both sides by two ---
x = 3.5
