(x, y) = ( ,

given the 2 equations
5x - 3y - 10 = 0 → (1)
x + y - 7 = 0 → (2)
rearrange (2) to obtain y in terms of x
y = 7 - x → (3)
Substitute y = 7 - x into (1)
5x - 3(7 - x) - 10 = 0
5x - 21 + 3x - 10 = 0
8x - 31 = 0 ( add 31 to both sides )
8x = 31 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x =
Substitute this value into (3) for y
y = 7 - x = -
=
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
4)
So we have the expression:
We can use the power of a product property, where:
So:
For the left, -6 squared is the same as -6 times -6. This equals positive 36.
For the right, we can use the power of a power property. The property says that:
So:
So, all together, we have:
6)
We have the expression:
First, note that anything to the zeroth power (except for 0) is 1, thus, x^0 is also 1. Simplify:
And that's the simplest we can do :)
Notes for 6)
We <em>can</em> put the x^4 to the numerator. Recall that when you put an exponent to opposite side, you put a negative. In other words:
And vice versa:
So, we can write the above as:
However, traditionally, we want only positive exponents, so this wouldn't be correct.
