Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be just x = y

There cannot be another number on the same side as the variable

Now that we did that, the equation is 9x = 0

x = 0

Well, that was easy lol

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 7 to both sides

9x = 0

Then divide by 9 both sides to get x by itself

x = 0

Solve the system of equations. -10y+9x=-9 <br> 10y+5x=-5

alexira [117]

by the use of elimination method

make all coefficients of subject to be eliminated similar..by multiplying the coefficients with one another

for eqn(i)

5(-10y+9x=-9)

-50y+45x=-45

for eqn(ii)

9(10y+5x=-5)

90y+45x=-45

-50y+45x=-45

90y+45x=-45

...subtract each set from the other...

we get

-140y+0=0

y=0

from eqn(i)

10y+5x=-5

0+5x=-5

x= -1

I need help on these question ASAP!!!! This is Urgent

Part 1: The equation of the line is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Explanation:

Part 1: It is given that the point A is $(1,3)$ and the line B is $y=2 x-2$

To determine the line passing through the point A and parallel to line B, let us first determine the slope and y-intercept.

From the equation of line B, the slope is $m=2$

Substituting the point $(1,3)$ and $m=2$ in slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we have,

$3=2(1)+b$

$3=2+b$

$1=b$

Thus, the y-intercept is $b=1$

Let us substitute the values $m=2$ and $b=1$ in the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=2x+1$

Thus, the equation of the line passing though point A and parallel to line B is $y=2x+1$

Part 2: The given two coordinates are $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$

To determine the equation of line in slope intercept form, first we shall find the slope and y-intercept.

From the graph, we can see that the line touches the y-axis at -1.

Hence, the y-intercept is $b=-1$

The formula for slope is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substituting the coordinates $(-1,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ , we have,

$m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1} =\frac{-6}{2} =-3$

Thus, the slope is $m=-3$

Substituting the values $b=-1$ and $m=-3$ in the slope intercept formula $y=mx+b$ , we get,

$y=-3x-1$

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is $y=-3x-1$

Solve the following quadratic by<br> completing the square.<br> y = x2 + 10x + 10

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = x^2+10x+10\\\\y=x^2+10x+25-25+10\\\\y=(x+5)^2-15\\\\y=0\quad\iff\quad (x+5)^2-15=0\\\\(x+5)^2=15\\\\x+5=\pm\sqrt{15}\\\\x=-5-\sqrt{15}\quad or\quad x= -5+\sqrt{15}$
