Solve the system of equations. (3x + 4y = 5) (2x - 3y = -8)

Answer:

the solution is (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the system

(3x + 4y = 5)

(2x - 3y = -8)

using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction.  Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:

  9x + 12y = 15

  8x - 12y  = -32

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

 17x       = - 17, so x = -1.  

Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:

2(-1) - 3y = -8, or

2 + 3y = 8,

or 3y = 6.  Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

12:00 am midnight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

I can read a 336-page book in 6 hours.

My rate r1 = 336/6 pages per hour = 56 pages per hour

Jayne can read a 144-page book in 3 hours.

Jayne rate r2 = 144/3 = 48 pages per hour

If I start reading a 5000-page book at noon and Jayne starts reading the same book at 10 AM

Taking 10 am as the reference time.

Let x represent the time from 10 am at which they would both be on the same page.

For me;

Since i started by noon; 2 hours after 10 am

Time t1 = x-2

For Jayne;

She started by 10 am

Time t2 = x

For them to be on the same page they must have read the same number of pages;

Number of pages read = rate × time

r1(t1) = r2(t2)

Substituting the values;

56(x-2) = 48(x)

56x - 112 = 48x

x(56-48) = 112

x = 112/(56-48)

x = 14 hours

Since 10 am is the reference, the time would be;

=10 am + x = 10 am + 14 hours

= 24:00

= 12:00 am midnight

Which is a zero of the quadratic function f(x) = 9x2 – 54x – 19?
Rufina [12.5K]
F(x) = 9x² - 54x - 19 = 9x² - 57x + 3x - 19 = 3x(3x - 19) + 1(3x - 19)

= (3x - 19)(3x + 1)

f(x) = 0 if 3x - 19 =0 or 3x + 1 = 0

3x = 19 or 3x = -1

x = 19/3 or x = -1/3
