Three times the 1st number plus the 2nd number plus twice the 3rd is 5 is the same as 3x+y+2z=5. If three times the 2nd number is subtracted from the sum of the 1st and three times the 3rd number, the result is 2 is just x+3z-3y=2. And if the 3rd number is subtracted from two times the 1st number and three times the 2nd, giving a result of 1 means 2x+3y-z=1. Then you use substition on these equations to get a equation where one variable equals 2 others, like using the first to get y=5-2z-3x and then this can be substituted into the other two to get x+3z-3(5-2z-3x)=2 and 2x+3(5-2z-3x)-z=1 we can then simplify and subtract the equations. After simplification we have 10x+9z=17 and 7z+7x=16 which can be turned into 70x+63z=119 and 70x+70z=160 which can be then subtracted to get that 7z=41 and z=41/7. Now we backtrack to a two variable equation like 7z+7x=16 and plug in to find x. So after plugging in we get 41+7x=16 and 7x=-25 so x=-25/7. Now we choose a 3 variable equation and plug in. So taking y=5-2z-3x we plug in 41/7 for z and -25/7 for x to get y=5-82/7+75/7 and y=5-7/7 and y=4. Therefore x = -25/7 y = 4 and z = 41/7.

Which answer choice states the range of the following
ankoles [38]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! Remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here you forgot to write the relation so I could help you providing my own relation.

Remember that for any relation, we have a set A that matches the the domain (also called the set of inputs) of the function and the set B that contains the range (also called the set of outputs).

Suppose our relation is:

y=-10+x \\ \\ For \ x=1,2,3,4,5

So the x-values represents the set A and the y-values the set B. Therefore, by evaluating the x-values into our relation we get:

\text{If x=1} \\ \\ y=-10+1=-9 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=2} \\ \\ y=-10+2=-8 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=3} \\ \\ y=-10+3=-7 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=4} \\ \\ y=-10+4=-6 \\ \\ \\ \text{If x=5} \\ \\ y=-10+5=-5

So in this context, the correct option is:

B) (-9,-8, -7, -6, -5}

If the point P(-4/5,y) lies on the unit circle and P is in the third quadrant, what does y equal? If necessary, use the slash ma
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
We use the fact that x2+y2=1  This is the equation of the unit circle.
We know that x=-4/5, so plug this in and solve for y
x2+y2=1 <span>(−4/5)^2+y2=1</span> 16/25+y2=1 y2=1−16/25 y2=9/25 <span>y=−square root of 9/ 25</span>
y = -3/5
