Answer: x = 2

Concept:

There are three general ways to solve systems of equations:

  1. Elimination: Eliminating a variable by addition or subtraction when all equations have the variable.
  2. Substitution: Combining two equations when one variable is isolated into one side.
  3. Graphing: Find the intersection point of equations to get the solution.

Here, we are going to use the method of <u>substitution </u>because [y] is isolated onto the left-hand side.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

y = 7x - 9

y = 3x - 1

<u>Combine both equations by substitution</u>

7x - 9 = 3x - 1

<u>Subtract 3x on both sides</u>

7x - 9 - 3x = 3x - 1 - 3x

4x - 9 = -1

<u>Add 9 on both sides</u>

4x - 9 + 9 = -1 + 9

4x = 8

<u>Divide 4 on both sides</u>

4x / 4 = 8 / 4

\boxed{x=2}

Hope this helps!! :)

Solve −3x2 − 4x − 4 = 0
kkurt [141]
This is a quadratic formula with a general form of a²x + bx + c = 0. For quadratic equations, we can solve for its two roots using the quadratic formula shown in the attached picture.

a = -3
b = -4
c = -4

x = [-(-4) + √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) = <em>2 + √-32/2</em>
x = [-(-4) - √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) =<em> 2 - √-32/2</em>

Kylie starts with $145 in her piggy bank. Each month she adds $20.
djverab [1.8K]

Kylie's first month collection, a1= $ 145

Second month collection , a2= $145+ 20

Third month collection, a3  = $145 +2*20

.

.

.

.

so for n months collection = an-1+20

We get an= 20 + an-1  and a1=145

Mei is making fruit punch.

Answer:

16.2p (If lemonade is .75p, if not substitute in the equation below)

Step-by-step explanation:

In 4 liters, there would be 3 liters of lemonade and 1 liter in juice.

I am assuming 75p is meant to be .75p

So 4 liters costs: (1 x 1.8) + (3 x .75) = 4.05

We need 16 so: 4.05 x 4 = 16.2
