It is convenient to add 3 times the first equation to the second. This will eliminate x.

In general, you want to find some multiple of one equation that you can combine with some multiple of the other to cause one of the variable coefficients to become zero. Here, we see that x is by itself in one equation, so it is convenient to multiply that by a suitable factor to cancel the x-term in the other equation. The x-coefficient in the second equation is -3, so when we multiply the first equation by +3 and add the result to the second equation, we get +3x-3x = 0x in the result.

3(x +5y) +(3y -3x) = 3(17) + (21)

... 18y = 72 . . . . . . collect terms

... y = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

Substitute into the first equation:

... x + 5·4 = 17

... x = -3 . . . . . . . . subtract 20

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, 4).

_____

Here, we note the second equation has terms that all have a factor of 3 that can be removed. That is, the second equation can be rewritten as

... y - x = 7

Now, we can add this directly to the first equation to eliminate the x terms.

... (y -x) +(x +5y) = 7 + 17

... 6y = 24 . . simplify

... y = 4 . . . . same as above

We could also subtract 5 times the new second equation from the first to eliminate y.

... (x +5y) -5(y -x) = (17) -5(7)

... 6x = -18 . . . . . . simplify

.... x = -3 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

A student earned a grade of 80% on a math test that had 20 problems. How many problems on this test did the student answer corre
boyakko [2]

Answer:

16 problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

100% divided by 20 questions.

100/20 is equal to 5, therefore each question is worth 5 points.

Grade of 80% divided by points per question.

80/5 is 16 so the student answered 16 questions correctly.

Find the value of x then tell whether the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple 6 , 10 , x
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem (

a

2

+

b

2

=

c

2

)

Lets label the right triangle such that:

a

=

12

b

=

16

c

=

x

Thus,

12

2

+

16

2

=

x

2

144

+

256

=

x

2

400

=

x

2

√

400

=

x

20

=

x

So our missing side,

c

is

20

We can now say that the sides of our triangle are

12

,

16

,

20

I've included a link that lists a couple of Pythagorean triples (a couple because they are infinitely many).

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the function y = |8 - 2x| + 3. Which is a point on the function? (6.2, 7.4) (7.8, 11.2) (8.6, 6.8) (9.6, 7.3)
Fiesta28 [93]
For this case we have the following function:
 y = | 8 - 2x | + 3

 The first thing you should do is graph the function to see the behavior.
 When observing the graph (in the attached image) we observe that the following point belongs to the graph:
 (6.2, 7.4)

 To prove it, let's evaluate the point in the function:
 7.4 = l 8 - 2 (6.2) l + 3

7.4 = l 8 - 12.4 l + 3

7.4 = l -4.4 l + 3

7.4 = 7.4
 The equation is fulfilled and therefore the point belongs to the graph.
 Answer:
 
(6.2, 7.4)
