Answer:
(x, y) = (-10, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This one can be a little tricky because the variables in the equations are not in the same order. It might help to rewrite the system as ...
- 5x +6y = -20
- 2x +9y = 25
Multiplying the first equation by 3 and subtracting 2 times the second equation can eliminate the y-variable:
3(5x +6y) -2(2x +9y) = 3(-20) -2(25)
11x = -110 . . . . . . simplify
x = -10 . . . . . . . . divide by 11
5(-10) +6y = -20 . . . substitute for x in the first equation
6y = 30 . . . . . . . . add 50
y = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
The solution is (x, y) = (-10, 5).
Answer:
=======================================================
Explanation:
We have some number x such that x is a real number, so we write that as which is saying "x is in the real number set".
The portion is how x is restricted. This means x can be -5 or larger, but also must be smaller than 16.
This is from the interval notation [-5, 16). The square bracket means we include -5 as part of the interval, but we exclude 16 because of the curved parenthesis.
The curly braces surrounding everything indicates that we have a set of values.
-----------------
Side note:
If x is an integer, then we can get this roster set {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15} showing all of the integers between -5 and 16, including -5 but excluding 16.
Though chances are your teacher will want you to stick to real numbers rather than just integers.
