-3x-y=-17 4x + 2 y equals 20

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: -3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20

multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.

(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20

Now we have:

-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14

Divide -2 on both sides.

-2x = -14
/-2       /-2

x = -7.


=============================================

To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20


4x + 2y = 20

4(-7) + 2y = 20

-28 + 2y = 20

Add 28 on both sides

-28 + 2y = 20
+28          +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2      /2

y = 24.


The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.

You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:

  (-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the two functions ...

  f(x) = -|x +2| -2

  f(x) = a·g(x -h) +k

where f(x) is a translation and scaling of function g(x). Here, you have ...

  g(x) = |x|

The scale factor is a = -1.

The horizontal shift is h = -2.

The vertical shift is k = -2.

Simplify the rational expression
-12x^3/x^3-5x^4

Answers

Simplifying the rational expression "-12x^3/x^3-5x^4" involves cancelling out the terms or variables that are common or present in each term. For this example, the common term is "x^3". So for the first step, bring out all of the x^3 terms. This gives:

-->   -12x^3/x^3(1-5x)

Since this is a fraction, the x^3 can be cancelled out from the numerator and denominator.

final answer --> -12/(1-5x)

If f(x)=3x+7 and g(x)=2x-5 find g(f(-3))

A. -26 B.-9 C. -1 D. 10

Answers

The value of g(f(-3)) would be -9 which is the correct answer would be an option (B).

What exactly is a function?

A function is defined as a mathematical phrase that specifies a connection between two variables in algebra.

We have been given the functions below as

f(x) = 3x + 7 and g(x) = 2x - 5

We have to determine the value of g(f(-3))

Substitute the value of f(x) = 3x + 7 in the g(x) = 2x - 5 to get g(f(x))

⇒ g(f(x)) = 2(3x + 7) - 5

Apply the distributive property of multiplication,

⇒ g(f(x)) = 6x + 14 - 5

⇒ g(f(x)) = 6x + 9

Substitute the value of x = -3 in the g(x) = 2x - 5 to get g(f(-3))

⇒  g(f(-3)) = 6(-3) + 9

⇒  g(f(-3)) = -18 + 9

⇒  g(f(-3)) = -9

Therefore, the value of g(f(-3)) would be -9.
