Step-by-step explanation:

3/8=x/24 (cross multiplication)

3*24=8x (we don't need to multiply 3 with 24 bc we will divide both sides by 8 so it will be easier to find the final value)

Substitution for {2x-3y=11 and -x + 2y = -6

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+2y=-6

x-2y=6

x=2y+6

4y+12-3y=11

y=-1

-x+2(-1)=-6

-x=-4

x=4

Factor this equation<br> 4x^2+12x-7

Levart [38]

$4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$
