Answer:

x = 1.5

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation using the substitution methods we say let

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

substitute equation 2  into equation 1

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

2x + 3( x + 1.5) = 12

2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12

5x + 4.5 = 12

collect the like terms

5x = 12 - 4.5

5x = 7.5

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 5

5x/5 = 7.5/5

x = 1.5

put x = 1.5 into equation 2

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

y = 1.5 + 1.5

y = 3

therefore the value of x = 1.5 and y = 3 respectively.

Four different positive integers have a product of 110.<br>What is the sum of the four integers?​
BigorU [14]
<h3>Answer:  19</h3>

Explanation:

Let's break 110 down into its prime factors

110 = 11*10

110 = 11*2*5

110 = 2*5*11

We have three different prime factors that multiply to 110. However, the instructions say there are 4 integers that multiply to 110. To fix this, we can say

110 = 1*2*5*11

now we see that 1,2,5 and 11 multiply out to 110

They add to 1+2+5+11 = 3+16 = 19

Given f(x) = -x + 2, find f(-1)
jarptica [38.1K]

f(x) = -x + 2

f(-1)   This means that they want you to find the value of f(x) or y when x = -1.

f(x) = -x + 2     Substitute/plug in -1 into "x" since x = -1

f(-1) = -(-1) + 2     (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

f(-1) = 1 + 2

f(-1) = 3
