Answer: x = -30
Steps: 19 + x/2 = 4
Subtract 19 from both sides: 19 + x/2 - 19 = 4 - 19
Simplify: x/2 = 15
Multiply both sides by two: x/2 (2) = -15 (2)
Simplify: x = -30
Answer:
B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.
We need to solve the following system of equations:
y = -x^2 + 6x
4y = 21 - x
From the second equation:
x = 21 - 4y
Plug this into the first equation:
y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)
y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y
y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y
16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0
16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0
y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)
y = 5, 3.938
When y = 5:
x = 21 - 4(5) = 1
When y = 3.938
x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)
