Equation 1)  x = 3y - 8
Equation 2)  3x - 4y = -9

For equation 1, subtract 3y from both sides.

1)  x - 3y = -8

Then, multiply ALL of equation 1 by 3.

1)  3(x - 3y = -8)

1)  3x - 9y = -24
2)  3x - 4y = -9

Subtract equations from one another.

-5y = -15

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 3

Plug in 3 for y in the second equation.

3x - 4y = -9

3x - 4(3) = -9

Simplify.

3x - 12 = -9

Add 12 to both sides.

3x = -9 + 12

Simplify.

3x = 3

x = 1

<span>x=3y-8
3x-4y=-9

We are told that:
</span>x=3y-8

So replace x in 3x-4y=-9 with x=3y-8 like so: 
3(3y-8)-4y=-9 

Start by distributing the 3: 
(3)(3y)+(3)(-8)+-4y=-9
Now you have: 
9y+-24+-4y=-9&#10;
Combine like terms, now you have: 
5y-24=-9&#10;
add 24 to both sides 
5y-24+24=-9+24&#10;
Now you have:
5y=15
Divide both sides by 5 to get: 
y=3 

Now that you know y=3 plug it into: 
x=3y-8
x=3(3)-8
x=1 

Final answer: 
(1,3)

The point (x, square root of 3/2) is on the unit circle, what is x?
Andreyy89

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a point (a,b) on the unit circle, we can say that

a^2+b^2=1

<em>This is a property of the unit circle.</em>

<em />

From the point given  (x,\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}) , now we can write the equation shown below and solve for x:

x^2+(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})^2=1\\x^2+\frac{3}{4}=1\\x^2=1-\frac{3}{4}\\x^2=\frac{1}{4}\\x=\frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{4} } \\x=\frac{1}{2}

So, x = 1/2

Simplify, using the distributive property and then combining like terms. 2(x+y)+(2x−2y)
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

4x

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + y) + (2x - 2y) \\  = 2x + 2y + 2x - 2y \\  = 2x + 2x + 2y - 2y \\  = 4x + 0 \\  = 4x
