Answer:

x=1 and y=4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations

3x+5y=7

5x+10y=13

Multiply first equation by 2

2(3x+5y)=2(7)

6x+10y=14

Eliminate y-variable to get "x"

6x+10y=14

- 5x+10y=13

x = 1

Substitute x=1 into either equation and find "y"

3x+5y=7

3(1)+5y=7

3+5y=7

5y=4

y=4/5

Therefore, x=1 and y=4/5

6t + 5j= 34
2t + 3j = 16

12t + 10 j = 68
12t + 18j = 96
-8j = -28
j = 3.5

jelly beans= 3.5 and trail mix = 2.75

Find the x-coordinates of the two points on the curve

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: x = {-2, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent means it is touching. Find the intersection of the two equations.

Solve the linear equation for y, then set the two equations equal to each other.

$4y=x+8\qquad \rightarrow \qquad y=\dfrac{x+8}{4}$

$\dfrac{x-1}{x}=\dfrac{x+8}{4}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply and solve for x:}\\4(x-1)=x(x+8)\\4x-4=x^2+8x\\.\qquad 0=x^2+4x+4\\.\qquad 0=(x+2)^2\\.\qquad 0=x+2\\.\qquad x=-2$

To find the next point that is parallel to the linear equation and tangent to the curve, we need to use the linear equation with slope (m) = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and unknown b.
