There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
-(5x-2) = 27
Distribute the minus sign
-5x +2 = 27
Subtract 2 from each side
-5x +2-2 = 27-2
-5x = 25
Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = 25/-5
x = -5
Answer: 4
There are three different ways to find the remainder. Since I don't know which lesson you are working on, I will show you all three methods.
<u>Long Division:</u>
<u>3x + 7 </u>
2x - 1 ) 6x² + 11x - 3
- <u>(6x² - 3x)</u> ↓
14x - 3
- (<u>14x - 7)</u>
4
<u>Synthetic Division:</u>
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 
| 6 11 -3
<u>| ↓ 3 7</u>
6 14 4
<u>Remainder Theorem:</u>
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 
f(x) = 6x² + 11x - 3
f(
) = 6(
)² + 11(
) - 3
= 6(
) +
- 3
=
