What is the solution to the system of equations?use the linear combination method

Mathematics
1 answer:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago
3 0
The 2 equations are 
-2x + y = -17 ---1)
3x + y = 23 ---2)
we need to have the same coefficient for one of the variables.
Already y variable has the coefficient of 1 for both equations so we can use the equations  as it is. 
2) - 1) subtract 1) from 2)
3x-(-2x) + y -y = 23-(-17)
5x = 40
x = 8
substituting x = 8 in the 2nd equation 
3*8 + y = 23
24 + y = 23
y = -1

solution - (8,-1)

Find the length and width of a rectangle whose perimeter is
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

11 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all of the sides added together

11+11+7+7=36

Area of a rectangle is length x width

7*11=77

The answers are 7 and 11 for the length and width

Whether which one is the width and which is the length depends on which side is the longest.

Mohamed and Li Jing were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -5, -25, -125, -625,....
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Li Jing's formula i.e.  \boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}  is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sequence

-5,\:-25,\:-125,\:-625,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

g_n=g_0\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{g_{n+1}}{g_n}

\frac{-25}{-5}=5,\:\quad \frac{-125}{-25}=5,\:\quad \frac{-625}{-125}=5

\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}

r=5

So, the sequence is geometric.

as

\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}

g_1=-5

r=5

so

g_n=g_1\cdot r^{n-1}

\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:

g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}

Therefore, Li Jing's formula i.e.  \boxed{g_n=-5\cdot \:5^{n-1}}  is right.

plzzz help smart people, its math will mark branilyest (DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW THIS TYPE OF MATH PLZZ SHOW WORK)
sveta [45]

Answer:

6) 15

7)5

8)120 degrees

9)60 degrees

10)9

Step-by-step explanation:

GHIJ is a parallelogram.

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

3y - 1 = 2y + 1

3y - 2y = 1 + 1

y = 2

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

4x + 3 = x + 12

4x - x = 12 - 3

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

6)GH = ?

GH = 4x + 3

GH = 4(3) + 3

= 12 + 3

= 15

therefore, GH = 15

7) HI = ?

HI = 2y + 1

= 2(2) + 1

= 4 +1

= 5

therefore, HI = 5

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

8) m(angle I) = 120 degrees...... (given)

therefore, measure of angle G = measure of angle I

therefore, m(angle G) = 120 degrees

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

9) m(angle I) + m(angle J) = 180 degrees

120 + m (angle J) = 180

m(angle J) = 180 - 120

= 60 degrees.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

10) JK = 9 .........( given)

JK = HK

therefore, HK = 9

The sum of two numbers is 39 and the difference is 3. What are the numbers?
frosja888 [35]

Answer: 21 & 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two numbers is 39

Difference is 3

Let the numbers be x & y

X+y=39........equation 1

X-y=3...........equation 2

X=3+y............equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 1

(3+y)+y=39

3+y+y=39

3+2y=39

2y=39-3

2y=36

Y=36/2

Y=18

Substitute for y in equation 2

X-y=3

X-18=3

X=3+18

X=21

The two numbers are 21 & 18
