So for this, I will be using the substitution method. Firstly, subtract both sides in the second equation by 2x: 4x+3y=20\\ y=7-2x

Next, substitute y in the first equation with 7-2x, then solve for x from there:

4x+3(7-2x)=20\\ 4x+21-6x=20\\ -2x+21=20\\ -2x=-1\\ x=\frac{1}{2}

Now that we got x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y:

4*\frac{1}{2}+3y=20\\ 2+3y=20\\ 3y=18\\ y=6\\ \\ 2*\frac{1}{2}+y=7\\ 1+y=7\\ y=6

In short, x = 1/2 and y = 6.

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y = -10x + 1, passing through the point (5,7)?
Viktor [21]
Line 1;
y=-10x+1
Gradient m= -10
Gradient of line 2= 1/10
\frac{y-5}{x-7} = \frac{1}{10}
y-5=\frac{1}{10} {x-7}
y-5=\frac{1}{10} x- \frac{7}{10}
y=\frac{1}{10} x- \frac{43}{10}

He studied for 1.5 hours on Monday

He studied for 0.75 hours on Tuesday

He studied again for 1.25 hours on Wednesday

Lastly, he studied for 1 hour on Thursday, the last day

Total number of study hours=1.5+0.75+1.25+1

Total number of study hours=4.50

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation -2x^2 + 6x + 3 = 0?
mario62 [17]

For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{6^2-4*(-2)*3}}{2*(-2)}


Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{36+24}}{-4}


Next, do the addition: x=\frac{-6+/-\sqrt{60}}{-4}


Next, your equation will be split into two: x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{60}}{-4},\frac{-6-\sqrt{60}}{-4} . Solve them separately, and your answer will be x=-0.436,3.436
