Answer:
3/4
pick 1,3,5 (reds) from 1,3,5,7(odd-numbered)
This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1

Hi there, -5*10/9*8=-50/72, -50/72 simplified is -25/36. Therefore, the answer is A. -25/36
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
