Answer:

x = 3/2 and y = -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are :

2x+y=−5 ....(1)

−2x+y=8 ....(2)

We need to solve the above equations.

Adding equation (1) and (2).

2x+y −2x+y=-5+8

2y = 3

x = 3/2

Put the value of x in equation (1).

2\times \dfrac{3}{2}+y=-5\\\\3+y=-5\\\\y=-5-3\\\\y=-8

So, the solution of the above equations are x = 3/2 and y = -8.

Please help look at the picture

Answer:

y = - 5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.

We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.

y = -ax - 1    Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.  

So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1

y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11

y = -ax - 1

let x = 2

let y = - 11 Solve for a

y = - ax - 1

- 11 = -a*-2 - 1       add   1  to both sides

-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1

- 10 = -2a             Divide by - 2

- 10/-2 = -2a/-2

a = 5

Answer: y = - 5x - 1

Write 4–6 sentences explaining why it is important to have precise definitions in mathematics.
dimaraw [331]
Mathematics can be tricky so precise definitions are important. Without them there can be confusion which more often then not will generate a wrong answer. With clear precise definitions it is easier to understand the topic. Therefore, it is easier to get the correct answer.
