Answer:

(-1, 10/3)

x = -1

y = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a system, one of the methods you can use is <u>elimination</u>. To use elimination, you need <u>a variable to have the same coefficient in BOTH equations</u>. Since both equations have "3y", with the same coefficient (3), we can use this method.

We want to eliminate a variable by cancelling it out. Since positive 3y PLUS negative 3y is 0, the variable in eliminated. ADD each of the terms in the equations together.

.        x + 3y = 9

<u>+    3x – 3y = -13</u>

.     4x – 0y = -4           3y - 3y = 0        

.             4x = -4            Divide both sides by 4 to isolate 'x'

.               x = -1              Solved for the x-coordinate

Since we know one variable, 'x', we can easily find the other, 'y'. Substitute 'x' with -1 in any of the equations. Then, isolate 'x'.

x + 3y = 9

(-1) + 3y = 9

-1 + 1 + 3y = 9 + 1      Add 1 to both sides to cancel out left side.

3y = 9 + 1          Add on the right side (9 + 1 = 10)

3y = 10              Divide both sides by 3 to isolate 'y'

y = 10/3             Solved for the y-coordinate

Put the 'x' and 'y' coordinates together in an ordered pair, which you write as (x, y).

The solution to the system is (-1, 10/3).

Let $f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 31$. for what value of $a$ is there exactly one real value of $x$ such that $f(x) = a$?
enot [183]

To solve for this, we need to find for the value of x when the 1st derivative of the equation is equal to zero (or at the extrema point).

So what we have to do first is to derive the given equation:

f (x) = x^2 + 4 x – 31

 

Taking the first derivative f’ (x):

f’ (x) = 2 x + 4

 

Setting f’ (x) = 0 and find for x:

2 x + 4 = 0

x = - 2

 

Therefore the value of a is:

a = f (-2)

a = (-2)^2 + 4 (-2) – 31

a = 4 – 8 – 31

a = - 35

HELP DUE IN 15 MINS! <br> Solve for x in the parallelogram below:<br><br> X=??
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, sum to 180°, so

14x + 6 + 118 = 180

14x + 124 = 180 ( subtract 124 from both sides )

14x = 56 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 4
