You'd find this problem easier to understand and do if you'd please list the defining equations vertically and line up variables:

1. x - 1y + 2 z = -7

2. y + 1z = 1

3. x - 2 y - 3 z = 0 Now eliminate the line numbers:

x - 1y + 2 z = -7

1y + 1 z = 1

x - 2 y - 3 z = 0

Let's use the elimination method to eliminate variable z: Seeing that z = 1 - y, we transform the first equation into 1x - 1y + 2(1-y) = -7

and the third into x - 2y - 3(1-y) = 0.

Simplifying 1x - 1y + 2(1-y) = -7

and x - 2y - 3(1-y) = 0,

we get

1x - 2y - 3 + 3y) = 0 and 1x - 1y + 2 - 2y = -7

which in turn simplify to

1x + y = 3 and 1x - 3y = -9

Having eliminated the variable z, we now focus on eliminating x. Mult. the 1st equation by -1, obtaining -1x - 1y = -3. Add this result to 1x - 3y = -9:

0 - 4y = -12, which tells us that y = 3. Subbing 3 for y in 1x + 1y = 3 tells us that x = 0.

All we have left to determine is the vaue of z.

Borrowing Equation 3, from above, we get x - 2 y - 3 z = 0, and into this equation we substitute x = 0 and y = 3: 0 -2(3) - 3z = 0.

Thus, -3z = 6, and z = -2.

The solution set is (0, 3, -2). You should check this by substitution.

Answer:

Y=3x+2, Y= -3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you need a consistent (parallel) line you must have very similar equations, with only positives and negatives being changed. If it's Y=3x+2, only the 2 is changed from negative to positive changing the lines position. If it's Y= -3x-2 then the X value is moved to a different coordinate and the -2 keeps the change.

Hope this helps and please critique what I've done if im wrong.

20 - 4x = 2(4 - 8x) This needs solving
Olenka [21]

20 - 4x = 2(4 - 8x)

Make sure to do the parentheses first or factor out first

20 - 4x = 8 - 16x

add 16x to both sides

20 + 12x = 8

Subtract 20

12x = -12

Divide by 8

x = -1

The side lengths, in centimeters, of a triangle are 5x, 32, and 2(3x + 2). perimeter of the triangle is 80 centimeters. what is
Lerok [7]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 32 + 6x + 4 = 80

11x + 36 = 80

11x = 44

x = 4

sides of triangle:

5(4) = 20 cm

32 cm

6(4) + 2 = 26 cm

Which of the following can be represented by the equation y = 2x?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

B) Graph B only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Table A is not correct, because:

In Y = 2X, replacing each row:
3 =/= 2 x 2
6 =/= 2 x 4
9 =/= 2 * 6

Table B is correct, because:
When Y is 2, X is 1 which is equal to 2x1.
When Y is 4, X is 2 which is equal to 2x2.
