Answer:

  x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the second equation to substitute for y in the first equation will eliminate the y-variable and give you an equation for the x-coordinate.

  y = 8 -6x . . . . second equation solved for y

  7x -3(8 -6x) = 1 . . . . substituted into the first equation

  7x -24 +18x = 1 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  25x = 25 . . . . . . . . add 24

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The x-coordinate of the point of intersection is 1.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The y-coordinate can be found using our equation for y:

  y = 8 -6(1)

  y = 2

What are the solutions of the equation x4 – 5x2 – 36 = 0? use factoring to solve.
algol13
X^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0
(x^2 - 9)(x^2 + 4) = 0
(x-3)(x+3)(x-2)(x+2) = 0

x = -3, -2, 2, 3

A student needs 3/4 pounds of modeling clay for a project. If each package has 1/8 pounds of clay how many packages of clay does
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

6 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.

8 * 0.75 = 6

This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.

What are the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle under the translation (x y) (x − 1 y − 3)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

A: (-9,-3)(-2,-4)(-5,-8)

B: (-5,2)(-1,-3)(3,2)

C: (4,-7)(-1,-3)(4,1)

D: (-1,-11)(-2,-4)(-6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

So of the transformations, translations are pretty much the easiest.  x-1 just means move all coordinates left 1 and y-3 means move all coordinates down 3.  So for the first one the x coordinate gets 1 subtracted from it and the y value gets 3 subtracted from it.

(-8,0) => (-8-1, 0-3) = (-9,-3)

I do recommend double checking though, for practice and in case I flubbed a calculation.
