Step-by-step Answer:

What is the solution to the system of equations?

y = –3x – 2 ..............(1)

5x + 2y = 15..............(2)

Substitute (1) in (2) to give

5x + 2(-3x-2) = 15

5x-6x-4 = 15

-x-4=15

solve for x:

-4-15 = x

x=-19

Now substitute x=-19 into equation (1)

y = -3x-2 = 57-2 = 55

Therefore the solution is (-19, 55)

What is the solution to this equation 4x + 2 ( x + 6 ) = 36

Margaret [11]

The answer is A. x=4.

Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.

4x+2(x+6)=36

4x+2x+12=26

Combine like terms.

4x+2x=6x

6x+12=36

Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.

6x+12=36

-12 -12

---------------

6x = 24

Divide 6 on both sides to find x.

6x=24

---- -----

6 6

x=4

The solution to the equation is 4.

Find the ratio in which the line joining the points (2, 4, 16) and (3, 5, -4) is divided by the plane 2x – 3y+ z+ 6 = 0. Also fi

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the plane intersects the join of points in the ratio k:1

let (x,y,z) be the point of intersection.

$x=\frac{3k+2}{k+1} \\y=\frac{5k+4}{k+1} \\z=\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} \\\because ~(x,y,z)~lies~on~the~plane.\\2(\frac{3k+2}{k+1} )-3(\frac{5k+4}{k+1} )+\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} +6=0\\multiply~by~k+1\\2(3k+2)-3(5k+4)+(-4k+16)+6(k+1)=0\\6k+4-15k-12-4k+16+6k+6=0\\-7k+14=0\\k=2\\x=\frac{3*2+2}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3} \\y=\frac{5*2+4}{2+1}= \frac{14}{3} \\z=\frac{-4*2+16}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3}$
