Solve using substitution: 2x−3y=−1 y=x−1

Mathematics
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 4</h2><h2>y = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = - 1 ………… Equation 1

y = x - 1 ….……….… Equation 2

To solve using substitution , substitute equation 2 into equation 1

That's

2x - 3( x - 1) = - 1

2x - 3x + 3 = - 1

- x = - 1 - 3

- x = - 4

Multiply through by - 1

We have

<h3>x = 4</h3>

Substitute x = 4 , into y = x - 1

We have

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

We have the answers as

x = 4

y = 3

Hope this helps you

Answer:

\frac{5+-\sqrt{53} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

in the equation given these are the values:

a=1   b= -5     c= -7

if we plug this in the quadratic formula \frac{-(-5)+-\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-7)} }{2(1)}

this is simplified to \frac{5+-\sqrt{53} }{2}

hope this helped

Solve for X<br> 1) 5<br> 2) 6<br> 3) 4<br> 4) 3
Molodets [167]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2 chords intersecting inside a circle , then

the product of the parts of one chord is equal to the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

9 × 4x = 8(4x + 2)

36x = 32x + 16 ( subtract 32x from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4

A small airplane flies 1200 miles with an average speed of 300 miles per hour. 2 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leav
inysia [295]

The small plane has the following parameters

Distance = 1200 miles

Speed = 300miles/hour

time = ?

\begin{gathered} \text{Speed =}\frac{dis\tan ce}{time} \\ time\text{= }\frac{1200}{300} \\ \text{time = 4 hours} \end{gathered}

If a Boeing 747 leaves 2 hours later, the total time becomes 4hours + 2 hours = 6 hours

Considering the distance of the small plane after 6 hours, we have

\begin{gathered} \text{distance = sp}eed\times\text{ time} \\ d\text{ = 300 }\times6 \\ d\text{ =1800 miles} \end{gathered}

So the total distance = 1800 miles

Hence the speed of the Boeing 747 will be

\begin{gathered} \text{Speed =}\frac{dis\tan ce}{time} \\ \text{distance = 1800 miles } \\ time\text{ = 2hours} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} \text{speed = }\frac{1800}{2} \\ \text{speed = 900 miles/hour} \end{gathered}

The average speed of the Boeing 747 is 900 miles/ hour

What is the 77th derivative of y=sin(3x)?
Nitella [24]
With this, we have have a few things going on here. First notice the chain rule needed for 3x and then that d/dx sinx = cosx , d/dx cosx = -sin× , d/dx -sinx = - cos and finally
d/dx -cosx = sinx. In knowing these derivatives, you know that you need to take the derivative FOUR times to return it back to itself. Doing the 77th derivative makes you do taking the derivative in these 4 time "cycles" 19 times (bc 77/4 = 19.25) which leaves you with taking the derivative just ONCE more after the first 76 times. So the 77th derivative of sinx is cosx. That is not all though. Recognixe that you will also multiply it by 3 77times bc of chain rule, so the 77th derivative of sin (3x) is......: ( 3^77 × cos (3x) )
