Your answer would be, You can use the Elimination Method, by Multiplying, One or Both Equations by a Constant.



Solve System of Linear Equation:

3x - 6y = -8, -1/4x + 4y = 6 ====> y = 32 /21; x = 8 / 21


Steps:

[ 3x - 6y = -8, -1 / 4x + 4y = 6 ]


Isolate x for 3x - 6y = -8: x = -8 + 6y / 3

3x - 6y = -8

Add 6y both sides:

3x - 6y + 6y = -8 + 6y

Simplify:

3x = - 8 + 6y

Divide Both sides by 3:

3x / x = -8 / 3 + 6y / 3

Simplify:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

[ 1 / 4 * -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6 ]

Isolate:

-1 / 4 -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6

y = 32 / 21

For x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

y = 32 / 21

x = -8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

-8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

x = 8 / 21



The Solution to the Systems of Equations are: y = 32 / 21; x = 8 / 21




Hope that helps!!! : )

To create opposite terms for the x-variable, you need to multiply the second equation by a number that will result in the x term becoming –3x. That number would need to be a multiple of the denominator, which is 3. Multiplying the second equation by 9 would create opposite terms for the x-variable.

Y_Kistochka [10]
Hmm, I believe the answer is 80%. 
It is a decrease.
30 - 6 = 24. 
24/30 = 80% decrease from Wednesday.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

2)

x^2+7^2=14^2\\\\x^2+49=196\qquad\text{subtract 49 from both sides}\\\\x^2=147\to x=\sqrt{147}\\\\x=\sqrt{49\cdot3}\\\\x=\sqrt{49}\cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{x=7\sqrt3\ mi}

4)

x^2+9^2=(\sqrt{226})^2\\\\x^2+81=226\qquad\text{subtract 81 from both sides}\\\\x^2=145\to \boxed{x=\sqrt{145}\ km}

What is the value of x so that the mean is 5. 7, x, 5, 3, 2
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'mean' is the same as the 'average'

( 7 + x + 5 + 3 + 2) / 5    =  5

 7+x+5+3+2 = 25

     x = 8
