First, let's find the x and y intercepts
In the first equation
y - 4x = -1
Put x =0
y= - 1
(0, -1)
Put y=0 and the n solve for x
0 - 4x = -1
-4x = -1
x=0.25
(0.25 , 0)
The points for the first equation is (0, -1 ) and (0.25, 0)
Next is to find the intercts for the second equation
y + x = 4
put x=0
y = 4
(0, 4)
Put y =0
0 + x = 4
x = 4
( 4, 0)
The points for the second equation are;
(0, 4) and (4, 0)
Below is the graph
What a delightful little problem ! (Partly because I could see
right away how to do it, and had the answer in a few minutes,
after a lot of impressive-looking algebra on my scratch-paper.)
Three consecutive integers are . . . x, x+1, and x+2
The smallest two are . . . x and x+1
Their product is . . . . . x(x+1)
5 times the largest one is . . . 5(x+2)
5 less than that is . . . . . . 5(x+2)-5
Now, the conditions of the problem say that <u>x (x + 1) = 5 (x+2) - 5</u>
THAT's the equation we have to solve, to find 'x' .
Eliminate parentheses: x² + x = 5x + 10 - 5
Combine like terms: x² + x = 5x + 5
Subtract 5x from each side: x² - 4x = 5
Subtract 5 from each side: <u>x² - 4x - 5 = 0</u>
You could solve that by factoring it, or use the quadratic equation.
Factored, it says that (x + 1) (x - 5) = 0
From which <em>x = -1</em>
and <em>x = +5</em>
We only want the positive results, so our three consecutive integers are
5, 6, and 7 .
To answer the question, the smallest one is <em><u>5 </u></em>.
<u>Check</u>:
5 x 6 ? = ? (7 x 5) - 5
30 ? = ? (35) - 5
30 = 30
yay !
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?
Let x = - 5
3*(-5) - 9
-15 - 9
This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).
- 15 - 9 = - 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When two lines are crossed by another line (transversal), the angles in matching corners are called Corresponding Angles.
When the line are parallel the corresponding angles are equal in measurement.
so
In this problem
-----> by corresponding angles
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Solve for x
Subtract 50 both sides
Divide by 8 both sides
