Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf (1, 3) \ or \ x=1 \ and \  y=3}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this system of equations:

4x+y=7\\4x-2y=-2

We use elimination to solve to eliminate one of the variables, so we only have to work with one at a time. We do this by adding and subtracting the equations, and sometimes multiplying the entire equation by a number.

Notice how both equations have a 4x. This means they can easily be eliminated, without multiplying the equations by another number first. Let's subtract the 2 equations.

\ \ \ 4x+y=7\\ -(4x-2y)=-2

The 4x will cancel because 4x-4x=0.

\ \ \ \ y=7 \\ - (-2y) = -2

Since there are back to back negative signs, they become addition signs.

\ \ \ \ y=7 \\+2y=2

3y=9

We are solving for y , so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 3 and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 3.

3y/3=9/3\\y=3

Now we can substitute 3 in for y in the original equations. Let's use the first one.

4x+y=7\\4x+3=7

3 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x+3-3=7-3\\4x=4\\

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=4/4\\x=1

x is equal to 1 and y is equal to 3. Coordinate points are written as (x, y). The solution to this system of equations is (1, 3).

vovangra [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle= lw

= 5 {m}^{4}  \times ( {m}^{2}  - 2m - 1) \\  = 5 {m}^{6}  - 10 {m}^{5}   - 5 {m}^{4}  \\

The following equation is given.
SashulF [63]

5x² - 9x + 45 = 0

Δ = b² - 4.a.c

Δ = (-9)² - 4 . 5 . 45

Δ = 81 - 4. 5 . 45

Δ = -819

There's no real root.
