Solve using elimination. -2x + y = 1 -6x - y = -9 HELP

Mathematics
1 answer:
laiz [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(x,y) = (8,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x

 [2]    x = y + 15

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

[1]    (y +15) + y = 1

[1]    2y = -14

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y

[1]    2y = - 14

[1]    y = - 7  By now we know this much :

x = y+15

y = -7

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x

x = (-7)+15 = 8

Solution :

{x,y} = {8,-7}

What is the solution set of |–x| = –10?
dem82 [27]
|a| = b gives
a =b or a = -b

so,
|-x| = -10
gives
-x = -10 or -x = 10
x = 10, -10

now let us verify,
when x = 10, |-10| = +10 and it is not = -10
so, x= 10 is NOT a solution.

when x = -10, |-(-10)| = |10| = 10 and it is not = -10
so, x= -10 is NOT a solution.

hence, this equation does not have a solution.

If we know that |...| can never be negative, we can directly deduce that this equation does not have any solution.

Lee ran a mile in 7 1/3 minutes. His friend Sam ran the same mile in 8 5/9 minutes. How many minutes faster did Lee run? (First
Anna [14]

Answer:

1 2/9 minutes faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the larger number and subtract the smaller number

8 5/9 minutes - 7 1/3 minutes

Get a common denominator

8 5/9 - 7 1/3 *3/3

8 5/9 - 7 3/9

1 2/9 minutes faster

√9a^2 + √49b - a + √b<br><br><br> a. 2b + 8 √a<br><br> b. 2a - 8 √b<br><br> c. 2a + 8 √b
Firdavs [7]
The correct answer:
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Assuming you mean:

" √(9a²)  +  (√49b)  −  a  +  √b " ;

Simplify the expression:
_________________________________________________________

Note that:  " √(9a²) = 3a " ;

                   "√(49b) = 7√b " ;   

And we write the expression

   →  " 3a  +  7√b  −  a  + √b " ; 

Combine the "like terms:

   " + 3a − a  =  2a " ;

   " +  7√b  +  1√b   =  8√b " ; 

Rewrite:  
________________________________________________________
    " 2a  +  8√b " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [C]:  " 2a  +  8√b " .

How many 'words' can be made from the name ESTABROK with no restrictions
Bumek [7]

The number of ways in which the name 'ESTABROK' can be made with no restrictions is 40, 320 ways.

<h3>How to determine the number of ways</h3>

Given the word:

ESTABROK

Then n = 8

p = 6

The formula for permutation without restrictions

P = n! ( n - p + 1)!

P = 8! ( 8 - 6 + 1) !

P = 8! (8 - 7)!

P = 8! (1)!

P = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 1

P = 40, 320 ways

Thus, the number of ways in which the name 'ESTABROK' can be made with no restrictions is 40, 320 ways.
