Answer:

x = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8-x-10 = 2x-1

2. 2x-1 = -x-2

3. 3x-1 = -2

4. 3x = -1

5. x = -1/3

sergejj [24]
<span>f(x) = 1/4 to the power of x + 2= 627
f(x) = 1/4 to the power of x + 2= same thing as the one above
f(x) = 1/4 to the power of x - 2= 623
f(x) = 1/4 to the power of x − 2= same thing as the one above

Select all the statements that are true for the following systems of equations.
Dvinal [7]
Answer:

The true statements are:

the first statement: Systems A and C have the same solution
the fourth statement: System C simplifies to 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18
the fifth statement: Systems A and B have different soltuoins.

Explanation:

1) The first statement: systems A and C have the same solutiotn: TRUE

The fourth statement proves that that the two systems are equivalent which means that both have the same solution.

2) The second statement: All three systems have different solutions: FALSE

The fourth statement proves that the systems A and C have same solution, so this second statement is false.

3) The third statement: Systems B and C have the same solution: FALSE

<span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

y = 5x + 3 = 5(-1) + 3 = - 5 + 3 = - 2

=> solution x = -1 and y = -2

Solution of system C.

2x - 3y = 4
12x - 3y = 54

subtract
</span>
4) fourth statement: System C simplifies to <span>2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18 by dividing the second equation by three: TRUE

Look:

Second equation of system C = 12x - 3y = 54

Divide by 3:

12x - 3y     54
----------- = -----
     3           3

Distributive property:

12x      3y      
------ - ----- = 18
   3        3

4x - y = 18, which is the same second equation of system A, so the system C simplifies to the same system A, which is 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18.

5) The fifth statement: systems A and B have different solutions: TRUE

</span><span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system A:

  2x - 3y =  4     
12x - 3y = 54           since it is equivalent to 4x - y =  18
-------------------
12x - 2x = 54 - 4      subtracting the first equation from the secon

10x = 50                  adding like terms

x = 5                        dividing by 10

From 2x - 3y = 4 => 3y = 2x - 4 = 2(5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6

=> y = 6 / 3 = 2

=> x = 5, y = 2

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

Which is enough to prove that the two systems have different solutions.</span>

Explain in your own words how you would graph the equation y = -4x + 25
madam [21]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I would choose three different points with some distance between. Let's do x = -5, x = 0, and x = 5. Next, I would plug those numbers into the equation, like so:

y = -4(-5) + 25 = 20 + 25 = 45

y = -4(0) = 25 = 25

y = -4(5) + 25 = -20 = 25 = 5

Next, I would plot the points [(-5, 45), (0, 25), (5, 5)] on an x-y graph. Finally, I would take a ruler, line it up with the three points, and draw a line through those three points, extending from one side of the graph to the other to show the equation is continuous.
