Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5
---------------
An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
Answer:
x=6 y=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
- Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:
8x + 2y=30
7x + 2y=24
- Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
- Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:
42+2y=24 then
2y=-18 then
y=-9
- Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.
