Answer:

The equations have one solution at (5, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations:

\displaystyle{\left \{ {{-2x+5y=-35} \atop {7x+2y=25}} \right.}

This system of equations can be solved in three different ways:

  1. Graphing the equations (method used)
  2. Substituting values into the equations
  3. Eliminating variables from the equations

<u>Graphing the Equations</u>

We need to solve each equation and place it in slope-intercept form first. Slope-intercept form is \text{y = mx + b}.

Equation 1 is -2x+5y = -35. We need to isolate y.

\displaystyle{-2x + 5y = -35}\\\\5y = 2x - 35\\\\\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{2x - 35}{5}\\\\y = \frac{2}{5}x - 7

Equation 1 is now y=\frac{2}{5}x-7.

Equation 2 also needs y to be isolated.

\displaystyle{7x+2y=25}\\\\2y=-7x+25\\\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-7x+25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{25}{2}

Equation 2 is now y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}.

Now, we can graph both of these using a data table and plotting points on the graph. If the two lines intersect at a point, this is a solution for the system of equations.

The table below has unsolved y-values - we need to insert the value of x and solve for y and input these values in the table.

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & a \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & b \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & c \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & d \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & e \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & f \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}

\displaystyle{y = \frac{2}{5}(0) - 7}\\\\y = 0 - 7\\\\y = -7

\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}

\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(1)-7}\\\\y=\frac{2}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{33}{5}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}

\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(2)-7}\\\\y = \frac{4}{5}-7\\\\y = -\frac{31}{5}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}

\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(3)-7}\\\\y= \frac{6}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{29}{5}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}

\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(4)-7}\\\\y = \frac{8}{5}-7\\\\y=-\frac{27}{5}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}

\displaystyle{y=\frac{2}{5}(5)-7}\\\\y=2-7\\\\y=-5

Now, we can place these values in our table.

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & -7 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & -33/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & -31/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & -29/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -27/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}

As we can see in our table, the rate of decrease is -\frac{2}{5}. In case we need to determine more values, we can easily either replace x with a new value in the equation or just subtract -\frac{2}{5} from the previous value.

For Equation 2, we need to use the same process. Equation 2 has been resolved to be y=-\frac{7}{2}x+\frac{25}{2}. Therefore, we just use the same process as before to solve for the values.

\bullet \ \text{For x = 0,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(0)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = 0 + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{25}{2}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 1,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(1)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{7}{2} + \frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 9

\bullet \ \text{For x = 2,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(2)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -7+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = \frac{11}{2}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 3,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(3)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{21}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = 2

\bullet \ \text{For x = 4,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(4)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y=-14+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{2}

\bullet \ \text{For x = 5,}

\displaystyle{y=-\frac{7}{2}(5)+\frac{25}{2}}\\\\y = -\frac{35}{2}+\frac{25}{2}\\\\y = -5

And now, we place these values into the table.

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}

When we compare our two tables, we can see that we have one similarity - the points are the same at x = 5.

Equation 1                  Equation 2

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & -7 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & -33/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & -31/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & -29/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -27/5 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}                 \begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2} \textbf{x} & \textbf{y} \\ \cline{1-2} 0 & 25/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 1 & 9 \\ \cline{1-2} 2 & 11/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 3 & 2 \\ \cline{1-2} 4 & -3/2 \\ \cline{1-2} 5 & -5 \\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}

Therefore, using this data, we have one solution at (5, -5).

X = y 2 - 1
pochemuha
Your answer would be option B. 2y² - y - 6 = 0. This is because if you were to substitute x = y² - 1 into the equation 2x - y = 4, you would get 2(y² - 1) - y = 4, which expands into 2y² - 2 - y = 4, and then simplifies to 2y² - y - 6 = 0.
I hope this helps!

A pair of parallel lines is cut by a transversal, as shown (see figure):
Anestetic [448]
The answer
let p' be the corresponding angle of the angle p (that is because of the prallelism and the transversal, look the image)
but p' and p are correspondant angles implies p'=p,
looking at the figure, p' and q are opposite angles
so q=p' and p'=p implies   q=p
the answer is
<span>p = q</span>
