At what point do the lines represented by the equations 2x + y = 3 and -3 x - y =-7 intersect? I just want to know how to do this. So please show me how to do this.

Add the equations to get
2x + y = 3
-3 x - y = -7
------------
-1x + 0y = -4
so
-x = -4
x = ???
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what do you get when you solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Where did you get the 0 from>
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
y + (-y) adds to 0y
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so the y terms cancel out

ok makes more sense now. I just realized that I just forgot all about that negative sign next to the seven. That's why I kept getting wrong answer. Thank you though. You were helpful ^.^
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yw
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Can you help me on this 2x^2 + 10x+12. It is asking which of the following is not a factor.
A (x+2) B(x+4) C(x+3) D2 and another one. her
Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to y=-2/3x +5 and passes through the point (2,7)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
2x^2 + 10x+12
2(x^2 + 5x+6)
how does it factor further?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What you mean. I don't really get how to do that problem. :P
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what 2 numbers multiply to 6 AND add to 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
2 and what else
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
2 and 3, good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
2+3 = 5
2*3 = 6
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so x^2 + 5x + 6 factors to (x+2)(x+3)

n then the one that is nota factor is b then (X+4)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good, x+4 is the only one that doesn't fit
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okie dokie thank u
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
np
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to y=-2/3x +5 and passes through the point (2,7) For this one I got y = 3/2x+4

you got it correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do you know it was correct instantly did you plug in the numbers or something
OpenStudy (anonymous):
SOrry I also a lot of other questions I have to ask for my math homework since I have a test tomorrow :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have to ask u questions for my math test :P
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I plugged x = 2 into y = (3/2)x+4 and got y = 7

yes I'm using a calculator to help me speed things up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok then XD ^.^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hm I thought you were suppose to plug into the original problem that had the negative next to -2/3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, you want to focus on the possible answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

I have another one what is the y-intercept of the graph of -2x +3y=-6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Multiple choices A 2 B -2 C 3 D -3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
plug in x = 0 and solve for y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh I kinda remember this one now
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok what do you get

wouldn't you get -2?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you would
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
nice work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok have another one which of the following best represents the inequality y > 5/3 x -1
-
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There was suppose to be a dash line under this >
