So what I think you do is that yu have to simplify or divide. Good luck! - from: a 7th grader
Didn't know if this was a question but if yes it is
Answer: Choice C) -11
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x.
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)
Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11
Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -4
from the left f(-4) = 4
from the right f(-4) = (-4+2)² = (-2)² = 4
∴ The function is continues at -4
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point -2
from the left f(-2) = </span></span><span><span>(-2+2)² = 0
</span>from the right f(-2) = -(1/2)*(-2)+1 = 2
∴ The function is jump discontinues at -2
</span>
<span>Checking the <span>discontinuity at point 4
from the left f(4) = </span></span><span><span>-(1/2)*4+1 = -1
</span>from the right f(4) = -1
but there no equality in the equation so,
</span><span>∴ The function is discontinues at 4
The correct choice is the second
point </span>discontinuity at x = 4 and jump <span>discontinuity at x = -2</span>
x-2y = -2
x-2(-3x+8)=-2
mutiply the bracket by -2
(-2)(-3x)=6x
(-2)(8)=-16
x+6x-16=-2
7x-16=-2
move -16 to the other side
sign changes from -16 to +16
7x-16+16=-2+16
7x= -2+16
7x= 14
divide both sides by 7
7x/7=14/7
x=2
Find y by using the substitution method
y=-3x+8
y=-3(2)+8
-6+8
=2
