We need to get x by itself.
We do that by subtracting 5 from both sides.
This leaves us with <em>x = -7</em>.
So x = -7 is the solution.
Answer: 3:31= alligators to total animals. 16:31= turtles total animals. 12:31= snakes to total animals.
Step-by-step explanation:
3+16+12=31 the total
The answer is 12. Next time try all of the answer option on your calculator first. I just tried each one
Answer:
solve for x in the second equation is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
Which first step for solving the given system using substitution results in an equation without fractions?
(2x+6y=7
(6x + 18y = 24.... 2
Solve for x in the first equation,
Solve for y in the first equation,
Solve for x in the second equation
The best equation to she will be equation 2 since all the coefficients are end numbers
Let us make x t subject f the formula from equation 2;
From 2: 6x+18y = 24
Subtract 18y from both sides
6x+18y-18y = 24-18y
6x = 24-18y
Divide through by 6
6x/6 = 24/6 - 18y/6
x = 4-3y.
You can see that the resulting expression of x is not a fraction. Hence solve for x in the second equation is correct
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x³-6x²+11x-6
put x=1
1³-6×1²+11×1-6=1-6=11-6=0
by synthetic division
1| 1 -6 11 -6
| 1 -5 6
|----------------
| 1 -5 6 |0
x²-5x+6=0
x²-2x-3x+6=0
x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0
(x-2)(x-3)=0
x=1
x-1=0
so x³-6x²+11x-6=(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)
