Algebra.Com's Answer #496714 by jsmallt9(3758)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Substitution Method: \n" ); document.write( "1. Solve one equation for one of the variables. \n" ); document.write( "Solving the first equation for x (by dividing each side by 4: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "2. Substitute for the solved-for variable in the other equation: \n" ); document.write( "(y^2/4)^2 = 64y \n" ); document.write( "3. Solve the one-variable equation: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 16 to eliminate the fraction: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1024y (to get a zero on one side): \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Factor out the GCF of y: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Zero Product Property: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Solving the second equation... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "4. Use the solution(s) to the one-variable equation to find the solution(s) for the other variable: \n" ); document.write( "For y = 0: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "so x = 0, making (0, 0) a point of intersection. \n" ); document.write( "For \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "making ( \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(Don't mind the colors.) \n" ); document.write( " |
