X^2-6x=13
(x-3)^2-9=13
(x-3)^2=22
(x-3)= +-sqrt22
x = sqrt22+3 or x = -sqrt22+3
Answer:
The numbers are 18 and 91
Step-by-step explanation:
You can translate the information to two equations:
<em>a value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number</em>
5a = b - 1
<em>their difference is 73</em>
b - a = 73
Then you should merge one equation into the other, thereby eliminating one variable. You can do this any way you want. I choose to rewrite the first equation as:
b = 5a + 1
Now I can write 5a+1 in the second equation at the place where b was:
5a + 1 - a = 73
It is now an equation with only one variable, solve by simplifying
4a = 72
a = 18
Now b can be found using b = 5a + 1
b = 91
Answer:
3x=10+13x
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3x=10+13x
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+3x-13x=+10
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-10x=+10
We divide both sides of the equation by -10 to get x.
x=-1
Unfortunately, I can't do it on a graph here, but I will do it algebraically.
The solution on the graph will be the point of intersection of the two lines representing the equations.
y + 2.3 = 0.45x . . . . . (1)
-2y = 4.2x - 7.8 . . . . . (2)
From (2), y = 3.9 - 2.1x
substituting for y in (1), we have:
3.9 - 2.1x + 2.3 = 0.45x
2.55x = 6.2
x = 6.2/2.55 = 2.4
y = 3.9 - 2.1(2.4) = 3.9 - 5.04 = -1.2
Therefore, solution is (2.4, -1.2)
