How can I solve this system of equations: x-y=-3 and -5x-2y=1

1 answer:

8 0

x-y=-3 so y = x + 3
-5x-2y=1
substitute y = x + 3 into -5x-2y=1
-5x - 2y = 1
-5x - 2(x + 3) = 1
-5x - 2x - 6 = 1
-7x= 7
x = -1

y = x + 3 = -1 + 3 = 2

answer
(-1, 2)

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^3-7x^2-x =0\\$

Take out common factor

$x(x^2-7x-1) = 0$

The factor inside the parenthesis cannot be factored

Since there is a common factor that we pulled out of the original equation,

set that x equal to zero and solve

$x = 0\\$ : Therefore x = 0

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

If you are doing subtraction with fractions you need to make a common denominator and subtract the numerators from each other

ex. 1/2 - 1/3

make a common denominator (or find the least common multiple)

3/6 - 2/6

subtract the numerators

take 2 from 3 and put that on top.

Solution 1/2-1/3= 3/6-2/6= 1/6

Solve the equation 3x/ 8 - 4x/3 =4

Virty [35]

Answer:

x = -96/23

Step-by-step explanation

$\frac{3x}{8}$ - $\frac{4x}{3}$ = 4

multiply each side of equation by 24 to eliminate denominators

(24) $\frac{3x}{8}$ - $\frac{4x}{3}$ = 4 (24)

3(3x) - 8(4x) = 96

9x - 32x = 96

-23x = 96

x = -96/23
