5x=4y+8 3y=3x-3 using elimination

1 answer:

8 0

Let's rewrite the equation with x and y on the left side of the equal sign.
5x-4y=8 --------(1)
3x-3y=3---------(2)
Divide equation (2) by 3,
x - y= 1
now we have,
5x-4y = 8 --------(1)
x - y = 1 ---------(2)
To eliminate x, multiply equation (2) by 5. This makes both the coefficients of x to be 5. Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
5x - 4y = 8
(2) * 5 5x - 5y = 5
(-) (+) (-)
----------------
0x +y =3
Therefore, y=3
Substitute the value of y, in any one of the two equations. Let's substitute y in the second equation.
x-3=1
x=4
x=4 and y=3

Answer: $3x^2y\sqrt[3]{y}\\\\$

Work Shown:

$\sqrt[3]{27x^{6}y^{4}}\\\\\sqrt[3]{3^3x^{3+3}y^{3+1}}\\\\\sqrt[3]{3^3x^{3}*x^{3}*y^{3}*y^{1}}\\\\\sqrt[3]{3^3x^{2*3}*y^{3}*y}\\\\\sqrt[3]{\left(3x^2y\right)^3*y}\\\\\sqrt[3]{\left(3x^2y\right)^3}*\sqrt[3]{y}\\\\3x^2y\sqrt[3]{y}\\\\$

Explanation:

As the steps above show, the goal is to factor the expression under the root in terms of pulling out cubed terms. That way when we apply the cube root to them, the exponents cancel. We cannot factor the y term completely, so we have a bit of leftovers.

Two or more independent functions (say f(x) and g(x)) can be combined to generate a new function (say g(x)) using any of the following approach.

$h(x) = f(x) + g(x)$ $h(x) = f(x) - g(x)$
