Answer:
Group the like terms
6x + 3x - x + 9
Work out the x values together and then add the 9
9x - x + 9
8x + 9
your final answer should be about 8x + 9 as it cannot be simplified anymore
Answer:
6.25 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
25/4=6.25
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
Answer: Inconsistent
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = 3x + 4 → m = 3, b = 4
y = 3x + 3 → m = 3, b = 3
These equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts so they are parallel lines <em>which means they will never intersect.</em>
NOTES
- one solution: consistent & independent <em>lines cross</em>
- infinite solutions: consistent & dependent <em>same line</em>
- no solution: inconsistent <em>parallel lines</em>
