The answer is 8/3 or 2 2/3 for the first one.
-11 and 2 make the equation true.
Answer: yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
Answer:
The function's input = x = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
y = -75 - 5x
Given that the output = y = 25
substituting the value y=25 and solve to find the input 'x'
25 = -75 - 5x
5x = -75-25
5x = -100
Divide bothe side by 5
x = -20
Thus, the function's input = x = -20
