3x - y = 6 and y = x - 4, use addition to solve the linear system of equations.

1 answer:

6 0

3x-y=6
y=x-4
solve by substitution
3x-x+4=6
2x=2
x=1

Now that you know x, but in in the equation to find y (either equation will work)
y= 1-4
y= -3

now that you have both answers, let's check them.

3(-1) - (-3) =6
yes, it works....

Hopefully this makes sense!

there is an equation for straight lines which goes

y-y,=m(x-x,)

where( x, , y, ) is any coordinate on the line and m is the gradient

so your answer is

y-7= -2(x-4)

does this make sense?

Express p in terms of q if

Irina-Kira [14]

$p=x^2+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^2}\\\\p=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\qquad(*)$

$q=x+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\q=\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\q^2=\left(\dfrac{x^2+1}{x}\right)^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2+1)^2}{x^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\q^2=\dfrac{(x^2)^2+2(x^2)(1)+1^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+2x^2+1}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+\dfrac{2x^2}{x^2}\\\\q^2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}+2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\q^2-2=\dfrac{x^4+1}{x^2}\\\\\text{From (*) we have}\\\\\boxed{p=q^2-2}$
