3x + 2y = -9 4x - 2y = -26 please help I have to solve this with the elimination method

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 9 → (1)

4x - 2y = - 26 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

7x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 5) + 2y = - 9

- 15 + 2y = - 9 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 3

The graph of f(x) and g(x) are shown below Which of the following is the graph of (g-f)(x)
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:  (g-f)(x)=-4x

Explanation: According to the graph, line created by function f(x) passes through the points (1,-3) and (0,0) and similarly, line created by the function passes through the points (1,1) and (0,0).

Thus, we can find the equation of the lines with help of formula y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} × (x-x_1)

so, equation of line created by function f(x)

y+3=\frac{3-0}{0-1}×(x-1)

y+3=\frac{3}{-1}×(x-1)

y+3=-3x+3

y=-3x thus function f(x)=-3x

similarly, equation of line created by function g(x)  

y=x thus function g(x)=x

Now, we have to find out, (g-f) (x)= g(x)-f(x)= -3x-x= -4x

The slope of the line below is -3. Which of the following is the point-slope
Anna [14]

Given:

The slope of the line is -3.

The line passes through the point (2,-2).

To find:

The point-slope form of the line.

Solution:

Point slope form: If a line passes through the point (x_1,y_1) with slope m, then the point-slope form of the line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of the line is -3 and it passes through the point (2,-2). So, the point-slope form of the line is:

y-(-2)=-3(x-2)

y+2=-3(x-2)

Therefore, the required point slope form of the given line is y+2=-3(x-2).

Which property is shown? 4/5+ -<br> 4/5=0
TEA [102]
This looks like the additive inverse property, because when you add something to its negative counterpart (or its additive inverse), you get 0 as a sum.

Another example would be 2+ (-2) = 0. -2 is the additive inverse for 2.
