How many solutions does the equation 5x+17=4(3x−1) have?

Stella [2.4K]2 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

one solution = 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)

5x+17=12x+−4

5x+17=12x−4

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x

−7x+17=−4

Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−7x+17−17=−4−17

−7x=−21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7

-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3

As a first step in solving the system shown, Yumiko multiplies both sides of the equation 2x – 3y = 12 by 6. By what factor shou
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yumiko should multiply the other equation by 3.

If she adds the two equations she would be left with the variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two equations are as follows:

$ 2x - 3y = 12 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (1) $

$ 5x + 6y = 18 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (2) $

It is given that she multiplies the first equation by 6. Therefore, (1) becomes

$ 12x - 18y = 72 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (a) $

Now, note that the sign of the variable 'y' is negative. So, if we make the co-effecient of 'y' equal in both the cases, add them it would result in the elimination of the variable 'y'.

The co-effecient of y in Equation (2) is 6. To make it 18 like it is in Equation (1), we multiply throughout by 3.

Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:

$ 15x + 18y = 54 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (b) $

Now, we add Equation (a) and Equation (b).

$ \implies 12x - 18y + 15x + 18y = 72 + 54 $

$ \implies 27x = 126 $

Factor: 3

Equation: 27x = 126

Two rectangles are similar. The ratio of their corresponding sides is 1:4.
larisa [96]

ratio of perimeter is the same as ratio of sides so perimeter would be 1:4

since area is in square units you need to square the ratio (1:4)^2 which is 1:16
