Y = 5x - 13 4x + 3y = 18

1 answer:

3 0

<span>replace Y = 5x - 13
into
4x + 3y = 18

</span>

4x + 3 (5x - 13) = 18
4x + 15 - 39 = 18
4x -24 = 18
4x = 18 +24
4x = 42
x = 42/4
x = 10.5

Y = 5(10.5) - 13
= 52.5 - 13
= 39.5

answer: x = 10.5 and y = 39.5

Which best describes the function notation f(3)=15

horsena [70]

If you are given a function, say f(x) = mx+c
This function would give you the relation between two variables, in other words it tells you the output when an input "x" is inserted.

The input for your function would be "x" and the output would be the result of the equation given.

Based on this:
for f(3) = 15, the input (x) would be 3 and the output would be 15

Therefore, the correct choice is:
<span>B) the output is 15, the input is 3</span>

A classmate simplified a rational expression below

lara31 [8.8K]

<h2>Part a) </h2><h2>Explain the error in this simplification.</h2>

Given the simplified expression

$1-\frac{2}{x-2}=\frac{x+1}{x+2}$

$1-2\left(x+2\right)=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)$

$\:1-2x-4=x^2-x-2$

$-2x-3=x^2-x-2\:\:$

$0=x^2-2x-2\:\:$

$0=\left(x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)$

$x=1$

<u><em>Identifying the Main Error</em></u>

$1-\frac{2}{x-2}=\frac{x+1}{x+2}$

$1-2\left(x+2\right)=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)$ ← ERROR Starts here

<u><em>Here is the Explanation of the Error </em></u>

<u><em /></u> $\mathrm{The\:equation\:should\:have\:been\:Multiplied\:by\:LCM=}\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)$ <em>. </em>In your case you wrongly multiply the equation.
