Y=-4x + 2 y = -x - 1

USPshnik [31]3 years ago

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have two values for y in terms of x. We can now create an equation to solve for what x is.

-4x+2=-x-1

We add x to both sides

-3x+2=-1

We subtract 2 from both sides.

-3x=-3

We divide both sides by -3.

x=1

Now, we can plug our x into one of the original equations and then solve for y!

y= -4+2

y=-2

We can also test this with the other.

y= -1-1

y=-2

Therefore, our solution is (1, -2), or x=1 and y=-2.

I hope that this helps!

There are 27 red or blue marbles in a bag. The number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of blue marbles. H
sveticcg [70]

The number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let R be the number of red marbles

Let B be the number of blue marbles

According to the question,

R + B = 27 (Total number of marbles is 27 )                 -1

R = 3B - 5 (Number of red marbles is 5 less than 3 times the number of blue marbles )

Substitute the right half of the second equation for R in the first equation

3B - 5 + B = 27

Add 5 to each side and combine the Bs

4B = 32

Divide both sides by 4

B = 8

Use this value of B in the first equation

R + 8 = 27

R = 19

Therefore, number of red marbles in the bag is 19 and the number of blue marbles is 8.

What are the rational and irrational number give examples!
bonufazy [111]
<h2>Recurring decimals such as 0.26262626…, all integers and all finite decimals, such as 0.241, are also rational numbers. Alternatively, an irrational number is any number that is not rational. ... For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number because it cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.</h2><h2>Worked Examples </h2><h2>1 - recognize Surds </h2><h2>A surd is a square root which cannot be reduced to a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>For example, </h2><h2> </h2><h2>4–√=2 </h2><h2>is not a surd, because the answer is a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Alternatively </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5–√ </h2><h2>is a surd because the answer is not a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>You could use a calculator to find that </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5–√=2.236067977... </h2><h2>but instead of this we often leave our answers in the square root form, as a surd. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>2 - Simplifying Surds </h2><h2>During your exam, you will be asked to simplify expressions which include surds.
