Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

it is a bit unclear to me, what that problem description means.

if I understand it correctly, than z is directly depending on x².

so, z = 16 for x = 2. x² = 4

I pondered a little bit, as there are several possibilities to connect 16 with 4 as a driving factor (e.g. 2⁴ = 16, 4×4 = 16, 12 + 4 = 16).

I decided to go with the simplest interpretation with the usual meaning of "varies" (multiplication) : 4×x²

that would mean

z = 4×x² = 4×5² = 4×25 = 100

Ket [755]

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to simplify.

5x + 32 = 4 - 2x
7x + 32 = 4
7x = -28

x = -4

Hope this helps!

Solve the system of equation?<br>2x - 4y = 10<br>7x - y = 12

allsm [11]

Answer:

x = 1.153846153846154

y = -1.923076923076923

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 7x - y = 12 by -4 and then add it to 2x - 4y = 10

2x - 4y = 10

+(-4( 7x - y = 12))

-26x = -30

$\frac{-26x}{-26} = \frac{-30}{-26}$

x = 1.153846153846154

Then plug in x to get y.

2(1.153846153846154) - 4y = 10

2.307692307692308 - 4y = 10

-2.307692307692308 -2.307692307692308

-4y = 7.692307692307692

$\frac{-4y}{-4} = \frac{7.692307692307692}{-4}$

y = -1.923076923076923
