Answer:

(\frac{5}{2}, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this system of equations:

2x + y = 7

2x - 3y = -1

And we want to find the solution

There are multiply ways to solve systems of equations, but let's solve this one by elimination, where we will add the two equations together to clear one of them, solve for the un-cleared variable, and then use the value of the un-cleared variable to solve for the cleared one

Before clearing a variable, we need to make sure that the signs on the variables are opposites; for example, -3 and 3, which will add together to get 0

We can multiply the equations beforehand if needed in order to manipulate the numbers.

For example, we can multiply the second equation by -1 in order to switch the signs of each number in that equation:

-1(2x-3y=-1)

-2x+3y=1

Now the signs in front of x are 2 and -2, so we can add the equations together to clear them:

2x + y = 7

-2x + 3y = 1

Add the equations together

4y = 8

Divide both sides by 4

y=2

Now let's use 2 as y to solve for x

In the first equation, substitute 2 for y:

2x + 2 = 7

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 5

Divide both sides by 2

x=\frac{5}{2}

As a point, the answer is (\frac{5}{2}, 2)

Hope this helps!

Write the values that make the denominators zero. then solve the equation?
Olin [163]

Answer:

  denominators are zero for x=1

  there is no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

We suspect your equation is supposed to be ...

  10/(5x -5) +1/5 = 2/(x -1) . . . . . parentheses are required on denominators

The denominators will be zero for x=1.

This version of the equation has no solution. It simplifies to ...

  2/(x-1) + 1/5 = 2/(x -1)

  1/5 = 0 . . . . . subtract 2/(x-1) from both sides

There is no value of x that will make this equation true.

_____

<em>Alternative interpretation</em>

The way your equation is written, it must be interpreted according to the order of operations to be ...

  (10/5)x -5 +1/5 = (2/x) -1 . . . . x=0 makes the denominator zero

  2x -3.8 = 2/x

  2x^2 -3.8x = 2 . . . . multiply by x

  2(x^2 -1.9x +.95^2) = 2 +2(0.95^2)

  (x -0.95)^2 = 1.9025

  x = 0.95 ± √1.9025 ≈ {-0.4293, 2.3293}

Blaine buys 2 books and the total cost is $24.18 What is the constant of proportionality that
jekas [21]

Answer:

$12.09

Step-by-step explanation:

formula; Y= kx

where;    y = $24.18

               x = 2 books

               k = constant of proportionality

Step 1. Do the equation based on the data given

Y = kx

$24.18 = k2

Step 2. Compute the mathematical equation. Divide both sides by 2 to eliminate coefficient in the variable.

<u>24.18 =k2</u>

       2

k = $ 12.09 is the constant of proportionality cost in dlooars per book
