I'm not sure what "algebraically" means.
-------------
x+y+2z=0
1/4x-1/4y+1/8z=1 --> 2x-2y+z = 8
3/2x+y+1/2z=1 --> 3x+2y+z = 2
---------------
x + y+2z = 0
2x-2y +z = 8
3x+2y +z = 2
Eliminate y
------------
Add eqns 2 and 3
2x-2y +z = 8
3x+2y +z = 2
------------- Add
5x + 2z = 10 eqn A
--------------
Add 2x 1st eqn to 2nd
2x+2y+4z = 0
2x-2y +z = 8
------------Add
4x + 5z = 8 eqn B
20x +25z = 40 eqn B x 5
20x + 8z = 40 eqn A x 4
------------------------ Subtract
17z = 0
z = 0
------
x = 2
-----
y = -2

Here are 2 examples:
Given 2 points example.
Find the equation of the line thru the points (2,1) and (3,5)
---------------------
This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points.
slope, m = diffy/diffx
m = (5-1)/(3-2)
m = 4
---------
Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept.
y = mx + b
5 = 4*3 + b
b = -7
-------
y = mx + b
y = 4x - 7 is the answer.

----------------------
A line and a point example.
Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2)
-----------------
Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y.
9x+3y = 36
3y= - 9x + 36
y = -3x + 13
The slope, m = -3
------------------
The slope of lines parallel have the same slope.
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3
----------------
Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b.
2 = (1/3)*1 + b
b = 5/3
The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form)
x - 3y = -5 (standard form)

Graph the following linear equation by finding x- and y-intercepts.
2x – 4y = -8
-------------------
set x = 0 to find the y-intercepts, and vice versa
x - 2y = -4 (I reduced it)
x = 0: -2y = -4
y = 2
--> (0,2) y-intercept
------------------
y=0: x = -4
--> (-4,0) x-intercept

Yes, it can have those sides.
-----------------------------
If any side is >= the sum of the other 2 sides, or <= the difference of the other 2 sides, it's not possible to form a triangle.
-----------------
I can only guess that tobias checked to see it 4, 9 and 8 made a right triangle. They don't, but they can make a triangle.


Travel_Word_Problems/270967: a plane is flying at 174 miles per hour with a heading of 50.5 degrees from due north. the wind is blowing a constant 23 miles per hour at 140.5 degrees from due north. find the ground speed and true course of the plane.

Is the plane flying a heading of 50.5º? If it's 50.5 "from due north", it could be 309.5º
---------------
Wind direction in aviation is the direction the wind is coming from.
Is this wind from 140.5º?
-------------------
The people writing textbooks should stick to subjects they know. Headings are given to the whole degree, no 50.5 degs
----------------------
I'll solve this, using that plane heading of 50.5, and the wind direction of 140.5 (coming from 140.5).
-----------------
Notice they're 90º apart, so it's a right triangle with sides of 174 and 23.
The resultang groundspeed is the hypotenuse:
g%5E2+=+174%5E2+%2B+23%5E2
g = 175.5 mph
--------------
The angle between the plane's heading and it course is the arctan(23/174)
=~ 7.53º
If the wind direction uses from, that makes the ground track 43º
If the wind direction uses to, it's 58º
---------------------------------
PS miles per hour is not used in aviation, it's knots.
It would be the "wind is 140 at 20 knots"

what is the x-intercept of the line 5x-3y=-15
It's the point where the line crosses the x-axis. That means y = 0.
--------
5x-3y = -15
5x-3*0 = -15
5x = -15
x = -3
The point is (-3,0)

explain (to a 5th grader) how to find the area of a rectangle where 1 side = 1m and the other =34cm?
------------------------
The area is the product of the 2 sides, or length times width. Which side is called length and width doesn't matter.
The 2 sides must have the same units. In this case, either both meters or both cm.
1 meter = 100 cm
The area is 34 cm * 100 cm = 3400 square cm
---------------------
Or, 34 cm = 0.34 meters
The area is 1 m * 0.34 m = 0.34 square meters
Both are correct. I prefer 3400 sq cm

They approach at the sum, 110 mph.
110 mph = 110*5280 ft/hour
= 110*5280/3600 ft/sec
t = 500/(110*5280/3600) seconds
t =~ 3.099 seconds
------------------
15 mph = 22 ft/sec If you remember that, you can shorten the time needed to do a lot of problems.

If you mean
e^x + e^-x = 5 then
x = inv hyperbolic cosine (2.5)
x =~ 1.566799 (via calculator)
-------------
The long way
e^x + e^-x = 5
Multiply by e^x
e^2x + 1 = 5e^x
e^2x - 5e^x + 1 = 0
It's a quadratic in e^x
e^x = (1/2)*(5 ± sqrt(21))
e^x =~ 4.7912878, 0.2087
x = log(4.79..., 0.2087)
x = ± 1.566799
