Systems-of-equations/342986: Please solve algebraically: 2x^2 + 2y^2 + 4x = 6y x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 3y = 1 For the first equation, I was able to divide everything by 2 and complete the square. After, I completed the square I factored it and got the answer: ( x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 0 I did not know what to do after that though, it would be easy to solve the with a graph, but I cannot figure out how to solve both equations. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much! 1 solutions Answer 245465 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2010-09-14 14:41:34 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's the basic outline to solving this problem 1) Select an equation and complete the squares for both x and y. You've already done that. Call this equation 3. 2) Select a variable to solve for in equation 3. Let's say you choose to solve for 'y'. 3) Once you've solved for 'y', plug that solved expression into each 'y' of the other equation. Once you've done this, every 'y' will essentially be replaced by 'x' terms and you'll have an equation with only one variable. 4) Expand, combine like terms, and simplify to get the equation with one variable in the form . 5) Now use the quadratic formula to solve for 'x'. 6) Use the solution(s) found in step 5) to find the corresponding solution(s) in terms of 'y'. Let me know if this helps at all.

Probability-and-statistics/342964: For those of you who like standardized tests, I found this question on a recent SAT test: Two fair dice are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability that the product of the numbers that land showing is at least 25? Explain your solution. 1 solutions Answer 245461 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2010-09-14 14:28:20 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can use a multiplication table to help you visualize the answer. Simply only focus on the values 1-6. Looking at a multiplication table, there are 36 possible values that the two dice can multiply to, but there are only 4 possible ways to get 25 or more (5*5=25, 5*6=30, 6*5=30 and 6*6=36) So the probability that the product is 25 or more is which is 0.1111 in decimal form (basically, an 11.11% chance)

Linear-equations/342712: Solve the following system of linear equations, a) using Substitution In your submission, include the variable you solved for and the expression you obtained for the variable. Write your answer as an ordered pair. x+2y=5 2x+y=-2 1 solutions Answer 245272 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2010-09-13 21:02:36 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given system of equations: Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y. So let's isolate y in the first equation Start with the second equation Subtract from both sides Rearrange the equation --------------------- Since , we can now replace each in the first equation with to solve for Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown. Distribute to Multiply Combine like terms on the left side Add 4 to both sides Combine like terms on the right side Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x Divide -----------------First Answer------------------------------ So the first part of our answer is: Since we know that we can plug it into the equation (remember we previously solved for in the first equation). Start with the equation where was previously isolated. Plug in Multiply Combine like terms -----------------Second Answer------------------------------ So the second part of our answer is: -----------------Summary------------------------------ So our answers are: and which form the point If you need more help, email me at jim_thompson5910@hotmail.com Also, feel free to check out my tutoring website Jim
