Answer:

x = 1

y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation , simultaneously using the substitution method

we say let

7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1

2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2

from equation 2

2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2

2x - 4 = y

y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3

put the value of the y = 2x -4 into equation 1

7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1

7x + 2x - 4 = 5

9x-4 = 5

9x = 5 + 4

9x = 9

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 9

9x/9 = 9/9

x = 1

substitute the value of x = 1 into equation 3

y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3

y = 2(1) -4

y = 2 - 4

y = -2

to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into any of the equations and you will see that the left hand side will be equal to the right hand side.

2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2

2(1) -(-2) = 4

2 + 2 = 4

4=4................................... proved

Find all solutions to the equation (sinx-cosx)^2=1

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{\pi k}{2},\ k\in Z.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the equation $(\sin x-\cos x)^2=1:$

$\sin^2 x-2\sin x\cos x+\cos ^2x=1,\\ \\ (\sin^2x+\cos^2x)-2\sin x\cos x=1.\\$

Since

$\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1$

and

$2\sin x\cos x=\sin 2x,$

we have

$1-\sin 2x=1,\\ \\\sin 2x=0,\\ \\2x=\pi k,\ k\in Z,\\ \\x=\dfrac{\pi k}{2},\ k\in Z.$

How do you determine the slope interscept equation of two given pointa

DiKsa [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope intercept form of any equation using two points, you first need to find the slope. You can do this using the slope formula below.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, we find the slope by putting in the values we have given the points. The first point you have would be (x1, y1). So if your first point is (3, 1), you would put 3 in for x1 and 1 in for y1. Then you do the same for the second point using (x2, y2).

After you've solved that equation and got m, you can use point-slope form. Take your first point and your newly found slope and plug the values into the following equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

After this, you can solve for y and that will be your slope intercept form.
