Since both equations equal to y, that would mean that both equations would equal each other. This means that the equation would turn into 2x = 8x - 6. Once you have this equation, you have to move all the terms that have the pronumeral x to the left. So, you would move 8x to the left. In order to do this, you have to minus 8x on both sides, 2x-8x=8x-8x-6. This is equation will simplify to -6x=-6. To find out what x is equal to, you then need to get rid of the -6 by dividing -6 by both sides. In the end, x should equal to 1. Then you need to find out what y is equal to. Since x=1, you can substitute it into one of the equations. Let’s use the equation y=2x. If you substitute x with 1, y should equal to 2. Now you know what y and x equals to.

Answer:

x = 1

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y =8x - 6  ---------------------------------(I)

y = 2x -------------------------------------(II)

substitute y = 2x in equation (I)

2x = 8x - 6

Add 6 to both sides

2x + 6 = 8x

Subtract 2x from both sides

6 = 8x - 2x

6 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6

6/6 = x

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in equation (II)

y = 2*1

y = 2

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers
Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the x^2 coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like x^2+bx+c=0, then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

  • b is the opposite of the sum of the roots
  • c is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

  • 4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2
  • 4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8

So, the equation is x^2-2x-8=0

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

  • \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}
  • \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}

And so the equation is

x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0

In a two-digit number, the tens digit is 5 less than the units digit. The number itself is five more than three times the sum of
Luden [163]

Given:

In a two-digit number, the tens digit is 5 less than the units digit.

The number itself is five more than three times the sum of its digits.

To find:

The number.

Solution:

Let the two digit number is ab. So,

ab=10a+b

Tens digit is 5 less than the units digit.

a=b-5       ...(i)

The number itself is five more than three times the sum of its digits.

10a+b=3(a+b)+5

10a+b=3a+3b+5

10a+b-3a-3b=5

7a-2b=5          ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

7(b-5)-2b=5

7b-35-2b=5

5b=5+35

5b=40

b=8

Putting b=8 in (i), we get

a=8-5

a=3

Therefore, the required number is 38.
