How to solve systems of equations

Mathematics

Len [333]3 years ago

You are given two equations, solve for one variable in one of the equations. Say you solved for x in the second equation. Then, plug in that value of x in the x of the first equation. Solve this (first) equation for y (as it should become apparent) and you'll get a number value. Plug in this numerical value of y into the y of the second equation. Solve for x in the second equation. And there you have it: (x, y)

Find the value of $B - A$ if the graph of $Ax + By = 3$ passes through the point $(-7,2),$ and is parallel to the graph of $x +
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since Ax + By = 3 passes through (-7, 2), then if we plug -7 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation is satisfied. So, let's do that:

Ax + By = 3

A * (-7) + B * 2 = 3

-7A + 2B = 3

We also know that this line is parallel to x + 3y = -5, which means their slopes are the same. Let's solve for y in the second equation:

x + 3y = -5

3y = -x - 5

y = (-1/3)x - (5/3)

So, the slope of this line is -1/3, which means the slope of Ax + By = 3 is also -1/3. Let's solve for y in the first equation:

Ax + By = 3

By = -Ax + 3

y = (-A/B)x + 3/B

This means that -A/B = -1/3. So, we have a relationship between A and B:

-A/B = -1/3

A/B = 1/3

B = 3A

Plug 3A in for B into the equation we had where -7A + 2B = 3:

-7A + 2B = 3

-7A + 2 * 3A = 3

-7A + 6A = 3

-A = 3

A = -3

Use this to solve for B:

B = 3A

B = 3 * (-3) = -9

So, B = -9 and A = -3. Then B - A is:

B - A = -9 - (-3) = -9 + 3 = -6

The answer is -6.

Answer:

x=20

m<B=92 degrees

m<C=40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

48+6x-28+2x=180

20+8x=180

8x=160

x=20

(6(20)-28)=92

2(20)=40

So, x=20, m<B=92 degrees and m<C=40 degrees

What is the solution for the equation 6x - 8 = 4x? x =
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 8 = 4x

<em>subtract 4x from both sides of the equation</em>

6x - 4x -8 = 4x - 4x

2x - 8 = 0

<em>add 8 to both sides of the equation</em>

2x - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8

2x = 8

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 2</em>

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4
