Solve for x over the real numbers:
-x^2 - 12 = -87
Add 12 to both sides:
-x^2 = -75
Multiply both sides by -1:
x^2 = 75
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer:  x = 5 sqrt(3) or x = -5 sqrt(3)  both Answers are correct

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.
motikmotik
Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.

2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3

now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
        -42          -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3

now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6

solution is (6,3)

it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)

so yes, ur solution is (6,3)

Can somebody help me with this?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

E) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is no ordinary problem. It actually requires you to solve two different problems in order to figure out the correct answer.

First, we must figure out what the hypotenuse of the triangle is. We have the two small sides (5 and 12), but don't have the larger side. To find this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem: a^{2} + b^2 =c^2

Let's plug in our a and b values

5^2 + 12^2 = C^2

Simplify

144 + 25 = c^2

169 = c^2

Square both sides

c = 13

But sadly, we aren't done yet. Now we know the length of the whole hypotenuse side. Time to figure out what X is by a simple equation.

12x + 14x = 13

Simplify

26x = 13

Divide by 26

Answer is 1/2
