Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
3 0

You solve the substitution method to solve a system of equality by expressing one variable in terms of the other using one equation, and then plugging this expression in the other(s).

In this case, the first equation gives us a way to express n in terms of m. So, we can replace every occurrence of n in the second equation with the given formula.

The result is

14m+2n=-8 \iff 14m+2(-7m-4)=-8 \iff 14m-14m-8=-8 \iff -8=-8

So, the second equation turned to be an equality, i.e. an equation where both sides are the same.

This implies that the system has infinitely many solutions, because every couple (n,m) such that n=-7m-4 is a solution to the system, because it satisfies both equations: the first is trivially satisfied, whereas the second is an identity, and as such is satisfied by any value of the variable.

How does the Counting Principle help when determining the sample space for a probability distribution?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

This is also known as the Counting rule.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is used in determining all the possible outcomes and the total possible ways different events can be combined with each other. It is usually done by multiplying all the events together to get the total possible outcome. Doing this also helps in determining the sample space of a probability.

For example there are events a, b and c. The total sample space or possible outcome will be a*b*c.

Quadrilateral KMPT is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4 to create K'M'P'T'. The perimeter of quadrilateral KMPT is x units. What
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) \frac{3}{4} x units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let quadrilateral KMPT be a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 8 units. Then its perimeter would be equal to:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b)

where: l is the length = 12 units and b is the breadth = 8 units. So that:

Perimeter of KMPT = 2 (12 + 8)

                               = 40 units

Dilating KMPT by a scale factor of \frac{3}{4} would create K'M'P'T' of dimensions; \frac{3}{4} × 12 units by \frac{3}{4} × 8 units. Thus, the dimensions of K'M'P'T' would be 9 units by 6 units.

Perimeter of K'M'P'T' = 2 (l + b)

                                  = 2(9 + 6)

                                  = 30 units

Comparing the perimeters of KMPT and K'M'P'T', the perimeter of K'M'P'T' would be  \frac{3}{4} × perimeter of KMPT.

Therefore, if the perimeter of KMPT is x units, then;

         perimeter of K'M'P'T' = \frac{3}{4} * x units

                                            = \frac{3}{4}x units

Determine if p2+14p+49 is a perfect trinomial
shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p²  + 14p + 49 = p² + 2 * 7p + 7²

Comparing with a² + 2ab + b²,

a= p and b = 7

So 2ab = 2*p*7 = 14 p

So, p²  + 14p + 49 is a perfect trinomial
