Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(x+3)=24 first, divide both sides to get x+3=-3

then move the constant to the right and change its sign to get x=-3-3 and calculate to get your answer.

hope this helps!

AlexFokin [52]

X^2/2 = 7x
x^2 = 14x
x^2 - 14x = 0

A quadratic equation is of the form ax^2 + bx + c
Therefore, in 3x^2 + 5x + 7, c = 7

Without drawing the graphs, find the points of intersection of the lines: a 7x+4y=23 and 8x–10y=19

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

(3,0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system has equations:

$7x + 4y = 23 \\ 8x - 10y = 19$

Let us multiply the second equation by 4 and the first equation by 10.

$70x + 40y = 230 \\ 32x - 40y = 76$

We add both new equations to get:

$102x = 306 \\ x = \frac{306}{102} = 3$

Put x=3 into the first equation and solve for y.

$7(3) + 4y = 23 \\ 21 + 4y = 23 \\ 4y = 23 - 21 \\ 4y = 2 \\ y = \frac{1}{2}$

The point of intersection is the solution to the system of equation which is (3,0.5)
