Solve using substitution and show your work: -3x-3y=3 y=-5x-17

Mathematics
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate any variable, x or y, but since y has already been isolated, use y to solve for x.

Substitute y into the first equation -3x-3y=3

This equals -3x - 3 (-5x - 17) = 3

Distribute to get -3x + 15x + 51  = 3

Then bring like terms together. -3x + 15x = 3 - 51

12x = -48

Solve for x

x = -4

Substitute -4 for x in the equation: y = -5x - 17

y = − 5x − 17

y = (−5) (−4) − 17

y = 20 - 17

y = 3 ( Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x = − 4 and y = 3

Two piecewise functions are shown below. What is the value of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what your problem here is.

you understand the inequality signs ?

anyway, to get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1)

we can calculate every part of the expression separately, and then combine all the results into one final result.

f(-2)

we look at the definition.

into what category is -2 falling ? the one with x<-2, or the one with x>=-2 ?

is -2 < -2 ? no.

is -2 >= -2 ? yes, because -2 = -2. therefore, it is also >= -2.

so, we have to use

1/3 x³

for x = -2 that is

1/3 × (-2)³ = 1/3 × -8 = -8/3

g(1)

again, we look at the definition.

into what category is 1 falling ? the one with x > 2 ? or the one with x <= 1 ?

is 1 > 2 ? no.

is 1 <= 1 ? yes, because 1=1. therefore it is also <= 1.

so we have to use

2×|x - 1| + 3

for x = 1 we get

2×0 + 3 = 3

6×f(-2) = 6 × -8/3 = 2× -8 = -16

3×g(1) = 3× 3 = 9

and so in total we get

6×f(-2) + 3×g(1) = -16 + 9 = -7

A bottle holds 5/12 gallon of water. How many bottles can be filled with 2 1/4<br> gallons of water?
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.185 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 5/12 by 2 1/4

First convert the improper fraction to a proper fraction, 2 1/4 = 9/4

5/12 ÷ 9/4

= 5/12 × 4/9

= 5/27 = 0.185
