Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: x = 7 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +3y = 8 ----------------(1)

x-y = 9 ----------------------(2)

multiply (2) by 2

2x-2y = 18--------------------(3)

subtract (2) from (3)

-5y = 10

Divide bothside by -5

y = -2

Similarly, multiply (2) by 3

3x-3y = 27-----------------------(4)

add (1) and (4) together

5x = 35

Divide bothside by 5

x= 7

Therefore, x =7 and y= -2

Solve for x: (x+a)(x-b) = x^2 -1 <br><br> How do I solve this ?
Sveta_85 [38]

You must factor.

x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)

The factored form is equal to the assigned form.

(x+1)(x-1)=(x+a)(x-b)

Values a, b correspond to the factored 1, -1.

Value of x however remains unknown. But we can change that.

Given factored result,

(x+1)(x-1)

We can set expression equal to 0 then find such x that when added with number a or b results with 0.

(x+1)(x-1)=0

Hence x has 2 solutions.

x+1=0\Rightarrow\boxed{x_1=-1} \\x-1=0\Rightarrow\boxed{x_2=1}

Hope this helps.

The graph of the function f(x) =ax2+bc+c is given below. Could the factors of f(x) be (x+2) and (x+4)? Based on the graph, expla
Alchen [17]

Answer:

 neither can be a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x -a) is a factor, then value of the function will be zero at x=a. Here, the function has a value of zero (x-intercept) at x = -1 and x = 3. Hence (x+1) and (x-3) are factors, but (x+2) and (x+4) are not. The function is non-zero at x=-2 and x=-4.
