Answer: The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32.  

The solution to the system is ( 4; 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we add the two equations.

2.5y + 3x =27

+

-2.5y +5x   = 5

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

8x= 32

The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32

the next step is solving the equation:

8x= 32

x=32/8

x= 4

Substituting the value of x in any of the original equations:

2.5y +3x= 27

2.5y +3(4) =27

2.5y +12=27

2.5y  = 27-12

2.5y = 15

y= 15/2.5

y=6

So, the solution to the system is ( 4; 6)

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

The solution to this system is (4, 1/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please separate these two equations for clarity.  I like to write them in column format:

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

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

8x           = 32, and x = 4.

Subbing 4 for x in the second equation yields 5(4) - 2.5y = 5.

Then 20 - 2.5y = 5, or 15 = 2.5y.  Solving for y, we get y = 1/6.

The solution to this system is thus (4, 1/6).

Answer:

  (a)  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.

The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)

This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."

This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...

  x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2

This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...

  none of the above

__

The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.
