Because you are not adding the x's .When you add the coefficients, the variable comes along with it.
Answer:
{x,y} = {89/37,-71/37}
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 3y + 25
[2] x = 3y/8 + 25/8
Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 6•(3y/8+25/8) + 7y = 1
[1] 37y/4 = -71/4
[1] 37y = -71
Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 37y = - 71
[1] y = - 71/37
By now we know this much :
x = 3y/8+25/8
y = -71/37
Use the y value to solve for x
x = (3/8)(-71/37)+25/8 = 89/37
Answer:
The Answer is A. slope = 1.5 and y-intercept = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
In y=mx+b form b represents your y-intercept and m (or the number next to the x) is your slope
Answer:
x = - 5, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² + x - 20
To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is
x² + x - 20 = 0
Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 20) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 1)
The factors are + 5 and - 4, since
5 × - 4 = - 20 and + 5 - 4 = + 1, hence
(x + 5)x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
