Given that f(x) = ax – 5 and f(4) = 15, then the value of a is 5

The given function is:

f(x)  =  ax  -  5

If f(4)  =  15, then x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into f(x) = ax - 5

f(4)  =  a(4)  -  5

15   =  4a   -  5

Solve for a by adding 5 to both sides

15  +  5  =  4a  -  5  +  5

20    =  4a

Divide both sides by 4

4a/4   =  20/4

a    =  5

Given that f(x) = ax – 5 and f(4) = 15, then the value of a is 5

Solve using any method. −2x+y=3 −3x+y=1 (-1, -2) (2, 7) (-2, -1) (-2, -5)
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Therefore the Final Solution is  x = 2 and y = 7  

i.e (2 ,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-2x+y=3                ...............Equation ( 1 )

-3x+y=1                 ...............Equation ( 2 )

y=3x+1                   ..............Equation ( 3 )

To Find:

x = ?

y = ?

Solution:

Substituting Equation  ( 3 ) in Equation ( 1) we get

-2x+3x+1=3\\\\x=3-1\\\\\therefore x =2

Now Substituting x = 2 in Equation ( 3 ) we get

y=3\times 2+1=6+1\\\\\therefore y=7

Therefore the Final Solution is  x = 2 and y = 7  

i.e (2 ,7)
