Answer:
x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = 13
3x + y = 2 (you can multiply this equation by -4 in order to eliminate the y-term)
-4(3x + y = 2) = -12x - 4y = -8
+ <u>2x + 4y = 13</u>
-10x = 5
x = -5/10 or -1/2
x(-1/2) + 4y = 13
-1 + 4y = 13
4y = 14
y = 14/4 or 7/2 or 3 1/2
You can certainly start out that way, but when you solve that equation for x, it's a little more complex than if you started with the other equation. I usually start with the most simple equation first. Let's take the first equation and solve for y... that will leave us without any fractions to deal with.
2x + y = -14
y = -14 - 2x
Now we have a y value and we can substitute it back into the other equation. So we will replace y in the second equation with (-14 - 2x).
That will leave us with just the x as a variable and we can solve for x.
7x - 4y = -19
7x - 4(-14 - 2x) = -19 multiply the -4 through the parentheses
7x + 56 + 8x = -19 combine like terms
15x + 56 = -19 subtract 56 from each side
15x = -75 divide each side by 15
x = -5
Now we have a value for x that we can substitute back into either of the original equations and then solve for y. I usually go with the easier equation, but it doesn't matter. Let's use the first one...
2x + y = -14
2(-5) + y = -14 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-10 + y = -14 add 10 to each side
y = -4
So your ordered pair is
(-5, -4)
That is where the 2 lines are equal to one another, so that's the point where they they intersect.
Note*** You can start these problems with either equation and solving for either x or y... it doesn't matter. After you substitute the values into the other equation it will work out the same.
Answer:
5^3
Step-by-step explanation:
5^-2 * 5^5
We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)
5^(-2+5)
5^3
Answer:
here are three types of triangle that differ from their side lengths.
1.Scalene
2. Isosceles
3. Equilateral
A triangle is scalene if all of its sides have different lengths.
A triangle is isosceles if two sides have equal measurements with each other.
A triangle is equilateral if all three sides have equal measurements with each othe
