The given equations are:
5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y = 58
Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:
10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58
Adding the two equations, we get:
10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x = 18
Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:
5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1
So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)
Answer:
slope = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the slope you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m
so we can plug the points into this formula
(5,7) (2,-2)
x1 y1 x2 y2
-2-7/2-5=m
-9/-3=m
Simplifies to
3=m
F: R -> R, f(x) = ax + b;
f(1) = 8 => a + b = 8;
f(2) = 14 => 2a + b = 14 => a = 6 and b =2;
f(3) = 20 => 6*3 + 2 = 20 True;
f(4) = 26 => 4*6 + 2 = 26 True;
then, f:R -> R, f(x) = 6x + 2;
5 x 1 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
5 x 3 = 15
5 x 7 = 35
