Mathematics

Answer:

\boxed {x_{1} = 3}

\boxed {x_{2} = -4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following equation:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\5&5\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1}\\x_{2}\\\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\2\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\-3\\\end{array}\right]

-In order to solve a pair of equations by using substitution, you first need to solve one of the equations for one of variables and then you would substitute the result for that variable in the other equation:

-First equation:

3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2

-Second equation:

5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

-Choose one of the two following equations, which I choose the first one, then you solve for x_{1} by isolating

3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 = 2

-Subtract 1 to both sides:

3x_{1} + 2x_{2} + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1

3x_{1} + 2x_{2} = 1

-Subtract 2x_{2} to both sides:

3x_{1} + 2x_{2} - 2x_{2} = -2x_{2} + 1

3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1

-Divide both sides by 3:

3x_{1} = -2x_{2} + 1

x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)

-Multiply -2x_{2} + 1 by \frac{1}{3}:

x_{1} = \frac{1}{3} (-2x_{2} + 1)

x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}

-Substitute -\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3} for x_{1} in the second equation, which is 5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3:

5x_{1} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

Multiply -\frac{2x_{2} + 1}{3} by 5:

5(-\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}) + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

-Combine like terms:

-\frac{10}{3}x_{2} + \frac{5}{3} + 5x_{2} + 2 = -3

\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} = -3

-Subtract \frac{11}{3} to both sides:

\frac{5}{3}x_{2} + \frac{11}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = -3 - \frac{11}{3}

\frac{5}{3}x_{2} = -\frac{20}{3}

-Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{3}:

\frac{\frac{5}{3}x_{2}}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{-\frac{20}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}

\boxed {x_{2} = -4}

-After you have the value of x_2, substitute for x_{2} onto this equation, which is x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}:

x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}x_{2} + \frac{1}{3}

x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}

-Multiply -\frac{2}{3} and -4:

x_{1} = -\frac{2}{3}(-4) + \frac{1}{3}

x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}

-Since both \frac{1}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, then add the numerators together. Also, after you have added both numerators together, reduce the fraction to the lowest term:

x_{1} = \frac{8 + 1}{3}

x_{1} = \frac{9}{3}

\boxed {x_{1} = 3}

Which step brings you closest to getting the variable alone on one side of the equation
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Adding 5 from both sides then dividing by 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to isolate x is to add 5 to both sides first:

21 = 7x

Then to isolate x by itself divide both sides by 7

x = 3

That would be the value of x and your final answer.

Which number line models the solution set of -2x + 7 &gt; 17?Pls do 2 answers for good measures (and brainliest)
Sidana [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can immediately eliminate answers B and C because we have >, meaning that the circle on the number line has to be open.

-2x+7>17

subtract 7 on both sides

-2x>10

divide by -2. remember that dividing by a negative flips the greater than or less than sign.

x<-5

the answer is D
