Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 4y = 23 and x + y = 8

Multiply the second equation by 4

4x + 4y = 32

Add this to the first equation

7x - 4y = 23

4x + 4y = 32

------------------------

11x    = 55

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 = 55/11

x = 5

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=5}

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}7x-4y=23\\x+y=8&|\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}7x-4y=23&(1)\\y=8-x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute (2) to (1):}\\\\7x-4(8-x)=23\qquad|\text{use the distributive property}\\\\7x+(-4)(8)+(-4)(-x)=23\\\\7x-32+4x=23\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\(7x+4x)-32=23\qquad|\text{add 32 to both sides}\\\\11x-32+32=23+32\\\\11x=55\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 11}\\\\\dfrac{11x}{11}=\dfrac{55}{11}\\\\x=5

How is the graph of y=4(2)^x+3 translated from the graph of y=4(2)^x
Pie

Answer:

Vertical movement: Move up 3 units

or

Horizontal movement: Move left 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If your parent equation is f(x) = 4(2)^{x} and your child equation is f(x) = 4(2)^{x} + 3, then it has vertically moved up 3 units.

If your parent equation is f(x) = 4(2)^{x} and your child equation is f(x) = 4(2)^{x+3}, then it has moved horizontally left 3 units.
