Solve for x and y.3x+y=136x+2y=26

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, this is a case of substitution:
3x + y = 13 correct?
-3x -3x
So: y = 13 - 3x
So: 3x +(13-3x)=13
and this is interchangeable, so x and y = all positive numbers
aka. 6x + 2(13-3x) = 26
it does not matter what numbers x and y are as long as they positive

I would first add 5 and 2 together, then multiply that by 3. Finally you would subtract the 1. After solving for what is inside the parentheses you would multiply it by 2 for your final answer.

2•(3(5+2)-1)
2•(3(7)-1)
2•(21-1)
2•(20)
40

The rules of exponents tell you to add exponents in the numerator and subtract those in the denominator. A power of a power causes the exponent to be multiplied.

$\dfrac{(2x^{3}z^{2})^{3}}{x^{3}y^{4}z^2x^{-4}z^{3}}=2^{3}x^{(3\cdot3-3-(-4))}y^{-4}z^{(2\cdot3-2-3)}\\\\=\dfrac{8x^{10}z}{y^{4}}$
