Variables - a quantity that may change, depends on the context of the math problem. Ex: x,y
Terms - a variable, or constant, that is multiplied by a variable or variables.
Ex: 5x + 2 + 3y <-- has 3 terms
Coefficient - the constant that multiplies the variable and is next to a variable, Ex: (5x) <-- coefficient is 5
Constants - A fixed value such as 5, 6, 7, etc
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer to everything is 21
Answers:
So the solution is (x,y) = (4, -1)
=============================================================
Work Shown:
6x + 7y = 17
6x + 7( y ) = 17
6x + 7( -3x+11 ) = 17 ... replace every copy of y with -3x+11
6x - 21x + 77 = 17
-15x = 17-77
-15x = -60
x = -60/(-15)
x = 4
We'll use this x value to find y
y = -3x+11
y = -3(4)+11 ... replace x with 4
y = -12+11
y = -1
We have x = 4 and y = -1 pair up together to give us the solution (x,y) = (4, -1)
------------------------
To check the solution, we plug x = 4 and y = -1 into each equation
Plugging the values into the first equation leads to...
y = -3x+11
-1 = -3(4)+11
-1 = -1
This is effectively already done in the last part of the previous section. But it doesn't hurt to verify like this regardless.
We'll need to verify the second equation as well.
6x + 7y = 17
6(4) + 7(-1) = 17
24 - 7 = 17
17 = 17
We get a true equation, so the solution is confirmed with both equations. Overall, the solution to the system of equations is confirmed. This system is independent and consistent.
No, 3(20)+5=65 and 20+95=115.
65 is not equal to 115; therefore they are not parallel because they are not congruent.
