Example Questions

Example Question #6 : Linear Systems With Two Variables

Solve for  and :

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this:

-The 1st equation can be mutliplied by  while the 2nd equation can be multiplied by  and added to the 1st equation to make it a single variable equation where

  

.

This can be plugged into either equation to get 

or

-The 2nd equation can be simplified to,

  

.

This value for  can then be substituted into the first equation to make the equation single variable in .

Solving, gives , which can be plugged into either original equation to get

Example Question #2352 : Algebra Ii

Solve for :

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve for , you must isolate it from the other variables. Start by adding to both sides to give you . Now, you need only to divide from both sides to completely isolate . This gives you a solution of .

Example Question #2353 : Algebra Ii

Possible Answers:

1

9

7

16

25

Correct answer:

9

Explanation:

On the equation, replace x with 2 and then simplify.

Example Question #6 : How To Factor An Equation

Solve for .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

This is a quadratic equation. We can solve  for either by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Since this equation is factorable, I will present the factoring method here.

The factored form of our equation should be in the format .

To yield the first value in our original equation (),  and .

To yield the final term in our original equation (), we can set  and .

Now that the equation has been factored, we can evaluate . We set each factored term equal to zero and solve.

Example Question #771 : Psat Mathematics

Without drawing a graph of either equation, find the point where the two lines intersect.

Line 1 : 

Line 2 : 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the point where these two lines intersect, set the equations equal to each other, such that  is substituted with the  side of the second equation. Solving this new equation for  will give the -coordinate of the point of intersection.

Subtract from both sides.

Divide both sides by 2.

Now substitute  into either equation to find the -coordinate of the point of intersection.

With both coordinates, we know the point of intersection is . One can plug in  for  and  for  in both equations to verify that this is correct.
