Can someone please help me with math questions?
The answer is 5. x^2=25... just kidding, what is the question?
lol
Solve the system of equations and choose the correct answer from the list of options: x+y=-3 y=2x+2 1. 5/3, 4/3 2. -5/3, -4/3 3. -3/5, -3/4 4. 3/4, 3/5 This is just really hard to do! I'm not really looking for the answer as much as I'm looking for help.
so x and y = -3
y is (double x) +2
Usually I solve for one variable for the first equation and the substitute that value in the second and solve for the second variable. For x+y=-3 x=-y-3 substitute into the second equation y=2x+2 = 2(-y-3)+2=-2y-6+2=-2y-4 y+2y=-3y=-4 y=-4/3 substituting back into the value of x in terms of y x=-y-3=-(-4/3)-3=4/3 -3=4/3- 9/3=-5/3 testing x+y=(-5/3)+(-4/3)=-9/3=-3 y=2x+2=2(-5/3)+2=-10/3+6/3=-4/3 so we are good x=-5/3 and y=-4/3
Thank you! Is it alright if I ask another one?
I am sure it is, someone will answer it. :)
