What is the x-value of the solution to the system of equations? 5x + 4y = 8

2x − 3y = 17

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply first eq. by 3 and second by 4 to get rid of y

15x+12y=24

8x-12y=68

add the equations

23x = 92

divide both sides by 23

x=92/23=4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 4y = 8 → (1)

2x - 3y = 17 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 4 then adding will eliminate the y- term

15x + 12y = 24 → (3)

8x - 12y = 68 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y, that is

23x = 92 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 4

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
