Answer:
x = 1, y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x + 15 --- Equation 1
2x + y = 12 --- Equation 2
Substitute y = -5x + 15 into Equation 2:
2x + y = 12
2x - 5x + 15 = 12
Evaluate like terms.
15 - 3x = 12
Isolate -3x.
-3x = 12 - 15
Evaluate like terms.
-3x = -3
Find x.
x = -3 ÷ -3
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into Equation 2:
2x + y = 12
2(1) + y = 12
2 + y = 12
Isolate y.
y = 12 - 2
y = 10
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
First expand 2/3 (9x-6) = 4 (x+2)+ 2 By doing 2/3 (9x - 6)/3
Which gives you 2/3 (9x - 6)
Then you factor it 2/3 (9x - 6) 6 (3x - 2) get 6 (3x - 2) / 3
then you divide 6/3 with 2
Getting 2 (3x - 2)
The use the distributive law
2 x 3x - 2 x 2
simplify the equation
6x - 4
expand 4 (x +2) + 2: 4x + 10
which then equals 6x-4=4x+10
add 4 to both sides
6x-4+4=4x+10+4
simplify
6x=4x+14
subtract 4x from both sides
simplify again
2x=14
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 14/2
simplify one last time and get the answer
x=7
Because most of the area under any normal curve falls within a limited range of the number line
