(2x+y=-2 5x + 3y = -8 Solve by elimination

Mathematics

Effectus [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

y = -6, x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by elimination, you have to line both equations up together. Then, you multiply both equations until one variable is removed.

2x+y = -2

5x + 3y = - 8

There are many different ways to solve an elimination problem, but generally you should look for the simplest route. Here, I would multiply the top equation by -3.

-6x -3y = 6

5x +3y = -8

Imagine you are adding the two equations together. You end up with

-x = -2

Then solve for x. In this situation, it is fairly simple. Take out a factor of -1.

x = 2

Finally, choose one of your beginning equations and plug your new-found x value back into the equation.

2(2) +y = -2

4 + y = -2

y = -6

Which number best represents the slope of the graphed line -5,-1/5,1/5,5
HACTEHA [7]

The slope of the line will be – 1/5. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the equation of line?</h3>

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Take two point from the graph.

(0, 2) and (1, –3)

Then the slope will be

m = (2 – (–3)) / (0 – 1)

m = 5 / (–1)

m = – 1/5

Then the correct option is B.

Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.
Harman [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 5, x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.

  0 = (x -8)² -9

  9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9

  ±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root

  ±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8

That is, ...

  x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x

  x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x
