  • Solve 2m + n = 2 and 3m - 2n = 3 using substitution.

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

We can use the substitution method to solve linear equations of this form. Let's solve for m & n.

\left. \begin{array}  { l  }  { 2 m + n = 2 } \\ { 3 m - 2 n = 3 } \end{array} \right.

To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

2m+n=2, \: 3m-2n=3

Choose one of the equations and solve it for m by isolating m on the left-hand side of the equal sign.

2m+n=2

Subtract n from both sides of the equation.

2m=-n+2

Divide both sides by 2.

m=\frac{1}{2}\left(-n+2\right)  \\

Multiply 1/2 times -n+2.

m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1  \\

Substitute -\frac{n}{2}+1\\ for m in the other equation, 3m-2n=3.

3\left(-\frac{1}{2}n+1\right)-2n=3  \\

Multiply 3 times -\frac{n}{2}+1\\.

-\frac{3}{2}n+3-2n=3  \\

Add -\frac{3n}{2}\\ to -2n.

-\frac{7}{2}n+3=3  \\

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

-\frac{7}{2}n=0  \\

Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{7}{2}\\, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

\large \underline{\underline{ \bf \: n=0 }}

Substitute 0 for n in m=-\frac{1}{2}n+1\\. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for m directly.

\large \underline{ \underline{\bf \: m=1 }}

The system is now solved.

\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: m=1, \: n=0 }}

⦁ Use both methods to find the distance between the points on the number line.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Method A

1) Method A: Let 2 be the starting point and -2, the finishing one. Counting between 2 and -2, we can count a distance of 4 units. That's the simplest way, but not convenient to great numbers on the Number Line.

Method B:

There is no such thing as a negative distance, as a physical quantity. So this is the reason why we need to compute the absolute value of two numbers, which is simply what was done on Method B.

|2-(-2)|=|4|=4

As we are dealing with absolute values, the order is not relevant after all, the result remains the same. Take a look:

|-2-2|=|-4|=4

That's why the greater (2) or the lesser number (-2) can be the subtrahend (in bold within the brackets.

Graph the function. Give domain and range in interval form.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Domain: all real values of x

Range: all real values of y

Translation depends on the parent function

If the first function was:

y = cuberoot(x)

Then translation is:

Vertical translation 1 unit downwards
