Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 11

x + 3y = -5

To calculate the value of x , firstly we need to find value of y.

solve for y

  • 2x - y = 11

subtract 2x from both side

  • 2x - 2x - y = 11 - 2x
  • -y = 11 - 2x

change the sign of both side of equation

  • y = -11 + 2x

rewrite

  • y = 2x - 11

<u>Solve for x</u>

  • y = 2x - 11
  • x + 3y = -5

substitute the value of y in the equation

  • x + 3( 2x - 11 ) = -5

distribute 3

  • x + 3 × 2x - 3× 11 = -5
  • x + 6x - 33 = -5

combine like terms

  • 7x - 33 = -5

Add 33 on both side

  • 7x - 33 + 33 = -5 + 33
  • 7x = 28

divide both side by 7

  • 7x / 7 = 28 / 7
  • x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

2x - y = 11

x + 3y = -5

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

2x - y = 11

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                      -y = 11 - 2x
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -1 on both sides:                                  y = 2x - 11

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

y = 2x - 11

x + 3y = -5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em> [2nd Equation]:                                                                        x + 3(2x - 11) = -5
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute 3:                                                                 x + 6x - 33 = -5
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         7x - 33 = -5
  4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 33 on both sides:                                  7x = 28
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 7 on both sides:                                  x = 4

If g(x) = 4(x - 2)2 - 4, complete the following statements.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:    g(x) = 4(x - 2)^2 - 4

The vertex is located at (2, -4) which numbers come directly from the '2' in (x - 2) and the "-4" at the end of the equation.

Where is the function f(x) that you mentioned?

The axis of symmetry here is the vertical line that passes through the vertex.  Its equation is x = 10.

The top of the desk is shaped like a trapezoid the bases of the trapezoid are 26.5 and 30 cm long the area of the desk is 791 CM
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area = 791 cm

Base, b1 = 26.5 cm

Base, b2 = 30 cm

Area, A of trapezoid :

A = 1/2 (a + b) h

Where a and b are the bases ;

791 = 1/2(26.5 + 30)h

791 = 0.5(56.5)h

791 = 28.25h

h = 791 / 28.25

h = 28 cm
