Answer:
(x, y) = (-4, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations have the same coefficient for y, so you can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here the x coefficient is largest for the first equation, so it will work best to subtract the second equation.
(3x +y) -(2x +y) = (3) -(7)
x = -4 . . . . . . . . simplify
Now, we can find y by substituting this value for x.
2(-4) +y = 7
y = 7 +8 = 15 . . . . . add 8 to both sides of the equation
The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 15).
Answer:
From least to greatest: -2, 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve
2x + 4 =0
2x = -4
x = -2
3x - 2 = 0
3x = 2
x = 2/3
The solutions are -2 and 2/3
n=2
8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)
8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)
<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)
<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40
-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)
-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)
<u><em>n=2</em></u>
