Answer:

x=5, y = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3y=18

x-3y=7

Add the two equations together

4x+3y=18

x-3y=7

------------------

5x = 25

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 25/5

x = 5

Now solve for y

x - 3y = 7

5 -3y = 7

Subtract 5 from each side

5-3y-5 = 7-5

-3y = 2

Divide by -3

-3y/-3 = 2/-3

y = -2/3

Answer:

x = 5, y = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3y=18 .......make x the subject

4x = 18 - 3y

x = (18 - 3y )/4 ......equation 1

x-3y=7 ......make x the subject, follow the same method

x = 7 + 3y ......equation 2

then solve them ( equation1 and equation2 ) simultaneously:

7 + 3y = (18 - 3y )/4

( 7 + 3y ) * 4 = 18 - 3y

28 + 12y = 18 - 3y ........bring y in one side and numbers in another side

10 = - 15 y

y = - 2/3

if y = -2/3

then x = 7 + 3 ( -2/3 ) .....from equation 2

x = 7 - 2

x = 5

In the equation x=y2 , what is the unit rate?

Lapatulllka [165]

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t ≥ 0 its position is given by x(t) = 2t3 - 21t2 + 72t - 53. At what time t is

Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The particle is at rest when the derivative of x(t), which is its velocity, is zero, i.e.,

$\dfrac{d}{dt}[x(t)] = \dot{x}(t) = 0$

Since $x(t) = 2t^3 - 21t^2 + 72t - 53,$ its derivative is

$\dot{x}(t) = 6t^2 - 42t + 72$

Equating this to zero, we get

$6t^2 - 42t + 72 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0$

This is a familiar quadratic equation whose roots are

$t = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$\;\;\;= \dfrac{7 \pm \sqrt{(7)^2 - 4(1)(12)}}{2}$

$\;\;\;= \dfrac{7 \pm 1}{2}$

$\;\;\;= 3\;\text{and}\;4$

This means that the particle will be at rest at t = 3 and t= 4.
