Well, I am going to answer anyway.
\(5x-(6-x)\) | Distribute the nagative sign to all terms inside of the parentheses. |
\(5x-6+x\) | Combine any like terms. |
\(6x-6\) | That's about all you can do. You can factor out a 6, if you'd like. |
\(6(x-1)\) | You could also leave it like it was above. |
Absolute value inequalities are not that simple! You can't simply just ignore them.
\(|0.7x+5|>6.7\) | The absolute value always splits your answer into the positive and negative answer. | ||
| Now that the absolute value has been accounted for, we should now solve for x in both equations. | ||
| Dividing by -1 causes a flipflop of the inequality sign. | ||
| Subtract 50 on both sides. | ||
| Divide by 7 on both sides. | ||

This is your answer. Since the greater than symbol will cause an "or" statement, we know that solutions are the following:
\(x>\frac{17}{7}\hspace{1mm}\text{or}\hspace{1mm} x<-\frac{117}{7}\)
.We can use the Euclidean algorithm for this:
\(a=bq+r\) | This is where (a,b) is the number we are trying to find the GCF of. |
\(546=294q+r\) | How many times can 294 go into 546 without going over? Once! The remainder goes to r. Continue this process until r becomes 0. |
\(546=\textcolor{blue}{294}*1+\textcolor{red}{252}\) | 294 now becomes your a and 252 becomes your new b. Now, solve again. |
\(\textcolor{blue}{294}=\textcolor{red}{252}q+r\) | Do the same process. How many times does 252 go into q without going over? Once. The remainder goes to r. |
\(294=\textcolor{blue}{252}*1+\textcolor{red}{42}\) | |
\(\textcolor{blue}{252}=\textcolor{red}{42}q+r\) | |
\(252=\textcolor{blue}{42}*6+\textcolor{red}{0}\) | Now that r=0, look at the r that was immediately previous to, which happens to be 42. This means that the GCF of 294 and 546 is 42. |
To find the equation that passes through \((-4,0)\) and is parallel to the line \(y=\frac{3}{4}x-2\), we must understand a few properties.
1) Parallel lines have the same slope.
This fact, alone, can help us do half the problem. The slope of the line \(y=\frac{3}{4}x-2\) is \(\frac{3}{4}\). As I stated above, parallel lines have the same slope, so the equation of this unknown line is \(\frac{3}{4}\).
We have deduced already that this unknown line is in the form of \(y=\frac{3}{4}x+b \). The only thing to find now is the b:
\(y=\frac{3}{4}x+b \) | Now, plug in a coordinate that we know is on the line. In this case, we only know that \((-4,0)\) lies on the line. Plug it in for x and y. |
\(0=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{-4}{1}+b\) | Simplif the right hand side. |
\(0=-3+b\) | Add 3 to both sides of the equation. |
\(b=3\) | |
We have found both of the mystery values to construct the proper equation of a line. It is \(y=\frac{3}{4}x+3\)
.1)
If \((2x+3y)(3y+2x)=z\), according to the given information, and \(x=3.2\) and \(z=457.96\), just plug those values in to solve for y:
\((2x+3y)(3y+2x)=z\) | Plug in the appropriate values for the given variables of x and z. | ||
\((2*3.2+3y)(2*3.2+3y)=457.96\) | Simplify what is inside the parentheses first. | ||
\((6.4+3y)(6.4+3y)=457.96\) | You might notice that both the multiplicand and multiplier are the same, which means that we can make this equation a tad simpler. | ||
\((6.4+3y)^2=457.96\) | Take the square root of both sides. Of course, this breaks the equation up into its positive and negative answer. | ||
\(6.4+3y=\pm\sqrt{457.96}\) | Although it may not be obvious, the square root of happens to work out nicely. | ||
\(6.4+3y=\pm21.4\) | To solve for y, we must break up the equation. | ||
| Now, subtract by 6.4 in both equations. | ||
| Divide by 3 on both sides. | ||
| Both of these y-values satisfy the equation, and these are the solutions. | ||
2)
This is a system of equations. I usually refrain from using the elimination method here because it is difficult to showcase. Therefore, I will use the substitution method.
I will solve for y in equation 2:
\(-2x-3y=2\) | Add 2x to both sides. |
\(-3y=2x+2\) | Divide by -3 to isolate y. |
\(y=-\frac{2x+2}{3}\) | |
Plug this value for y into equation 1 and then solve for x.
\(3x+5y=-2\) | Plug in the value for y that was determined from the previous equation. |
\(3x+5*\frac{2x+2}{-3}=-2\) | Do the multiplication first to simplify this monstrosity. |
\(5*\frac{2x+2}{-3}=\frac{5(2x+2)}{-3}=\frac{10x+10}{-3}\) | Now, reinsert this back into the original equation. |
\(3x+\frac{10x+10}{-3}=-2\) | Multiply by -3 on all sides to get rid of the fraction. |
\(-9x+10x+10=6\) | Combine the like terms on the left hand side. |
\(x+10=6\) | Subtract 10 on both sides. |
\(x=-4\) | |
Now, plug x=-4 into either equation and solve for y. I'll choose equation 2 because it look easier to do:
\(-2x-3y=2\) | Substitute all x's for -4. |
\(-2*-4-3y=2\) | |
\(8-3y=2\) | Subtract by 8 on both sides. |
\(-3y=-6\) | Divide by -3 to isolate y. |
\(y=2\) | |
Therefore, the coordinate where both lines intersect is \((-4,2)\).
