Answer:

A linear equation has the greatest x power at 1.

If you see an equation with only x (no x^2 or x^3 or stuff like that), you will know that it is linear.

3x+4y=-23 2y-x=-19 What is the solution (x,y) to the systems of equations above?

Shkiper50 [21]

If we multiply the bottom equation by 2 and move x to the right, it becomes:

4y = 2x-38

Now we can substitute it for the 4y in the top equation:

3x + (2x-38) = -23 => 5x = -23+38 => 5x = 15 => x=3

Then 4y = 2*3-38 => y = -8

So the solution is (3,-8)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that x and y are functions of time t such that x and y is a constant. So, we can write the following equation:

$x(t)+y(t)=k,\text{ where $k$ is some constant}$

The rate of change of x and the rate of change of y with respect to time t is simply dx/dt and dy/dt, respectively. So, we will differentiate both sides with respect to t:

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\Big[x(t)+y(t)\Big]=\frac{d}{dt}[k]$
