Solve each system of equation algebraically y=x+2 y=-3x

Anarel [89]3 years ago

The easiest method to use to solve this equation is substitution. This is because we already have our second equation set equal to the variable y, so we can substitute the x values in for the variable y in the first equation, as follows:


y = x + 2

y = -3x


-3x = x + 2


To simplify, we should subtract x from both sides of the equation so that we can have all of the x terms isolated on the left side of the equation.


-3x - x = x - x + 2

-4x = 2


Finally, we must divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get the variable x alone.


x = -2/4


Because both the numerator and denominator of this fraction are divisible by 2, we can use this knowledge to simplify the fraction by dividing by the GCF of 2.


x = -1/2


Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute this value into either of our original equations to find out the value of y.


y = -3x

y = -3(-1/2)

y = 3/2


Therefore, your answer is x = -1/2 and y = 3/2, or written as an ordered pair (-1/2, 3/2).


Hope this helps!

Try this solution:
\left \{ {{y=x+2} \atop {y=-3x}} \right.  \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \left \{ {{-3x=x+2} \atop {y=x+2}} \right. \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \left \{ {{y=2- \frac{1}{2}} \atop {x=- \frac{1}{2}}} \right. \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \left \{ {{y= \frac{3}{2}} \atop {x=- \frac{1}{2}}} \right.

If cos 0=2/3, what are the values of sin 0 and tan 0?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● cos O = 2/3

We khow that:

● cos^2(O) + sin^2(O) =1

So : sin^2 (O)= 1-cos^2(O)

● sin^2(O) = 1 -(2/3)^2 = 1-4/9 = 9/9-4/9 = 5/9

● sin O = √(5)/3 or sin O = -√(5)/3

So we deduce that tan O will have two values since we don't khow the size of O.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

●Tan (O) = sin(O)/cos(O)

● tan (O) = (√(5)/3)÷(2/3) or tan(O) = (-√(5)/3)÷(2/3)

● tan (O) = √(5)/2 or tan(O) = -√(5)/2

What is m2?<br> What is m&lt;1?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

∠ 2 = 75° , ∠ 1 = 105°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 2 and 75° are alternate angles and are congruent , then

∠ 2 = 75°

∠ 1 and ∠ 2 are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is

∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 180°

∠ 1 + 75° = 180° ( subtract 75° from both sides )

∠ 1 = 105°
