How to solve a system of equations by substitution

1 answer:

4 0

First, substitute y in 3x-2y=9 for what it says y equals (2x-7). You now have: 3x-2(2x-7)=9. Breakdown:
3x-2(2x-7)=9
3x-4x+14=9
-1x=-5
x=5
next solve for y
y=2x-7
y=2(5)-7
y=10-7
y=3
So Now We Have x=5, and y=3.
Hope That Helped =D

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a) $n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) $n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) This is a sequence of consecutive number

$n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) This is a sequence of 2 to the power of n - 1. The next number is twice time of this number

$n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

$n^{th} = n!$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

PLEASEE HELPPP MEE!! What is the measure of angle 3?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 3, and the 24 degree and 85 degree angle are supplementary angles, which mean they add up to 180. Subtract 24 and 85 from 180 to find angle 3 :)

Solve for x. 3x-12y=27

coldgirl [10]

Answer: x=4y+9

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the variables, 3x, 12y, and 27 can be divided y 3, so we will simplify by dividing the whole equation by 3.

3x/3-12y/3=27/3

Which is equal to....

x-4y=9

Now you can move -4y over to the right side by changing its sign...

x=4y+9
