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

Mathematics

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).

What is the solution to the equation t-15=76
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

T = 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

T + -15 = 76

Reorder the terms:

-15 + T = 76

Solving

-15 + T = 76

Solving for variable 'T'.

Move all terms containing T to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + T = 76 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + T = 76 + 15

T = 76 + 15

Combine like terms: 76 + 15 = 91

T = 91

Simplifying

T = 91

What is the solution of log4(2x-6)=2
Flauer [41]

Answer: x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Remembert that, by definition:

log_b(x)=y → b^y=x

Then, you can rewrite log_4(2x-6)=2 in exponential form:

4^2=2x-6

Now you can solve for the variable "x":

Add 6 to both sides of the equation:

4^2+6=2x-6+6

22=2x

And finally you must divide both sides of the equation by 2, then:

\frac{22}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}\\\\x=11
