Here's a mark you use in your math every day, and right now, you have to stop

for a second and understand and accept what it really means:

=See that ? That's the "equals" sign. When you write (one quantity) = (another quantity),

that means that honestly and truly, those two quantities are not only 'equivalent', but

literally equal in every way. Either one can do anything and everything that the other

one can do, and wherever you see one of them, you can stick the other one in its place,

because they're equal in every way.

That's why substitution is a legitimate operation. If a statement is true before substitution,

it's still true after substitution.

What do you call the graphs that intersect at exactly one point which gives solution of the system?

What are the solutions of the simultaneous equations of x squared -xy -y squared equals -11 and 2x plus y equals 1?

1st equation: x^2 -xy -y squared = -11 2nd equation: 2x+y = 1 Combining the the two equations together gives: -x^2 +3x +10 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation: x = 5 or x = -2 Solutions by substitution: (5, -9) and (-2, 5)


What is numerical solutions of nonlinear equations?

Linear equations, if they have a solution, can be solved analytically. On the other hand, it may not always be possible to find a solution to nonlinear equations. This is where you use various numerical methods (eg Newton-Raphson) to work from one approximate numerical solution to a better solution. This iterative procedure, if properly applied, gives accurate numerical solutions to nonlinear equations. But as mentioned above, they are not arrived at analytically.


Solve this system of equations using substitution. Put your answer in ordered pair form (x y). x plus 7y 39 3x - 2y 2?

To solve the system of equations given by ( x + 7y = 39 ) and ( 3x - 2y = 2 ) using substitution, we can first solve the first equation for ( x ): ( x = 39 - 7y ). Substituting this into the second equation gives ( 3(39 - 7y) - 2y = 2 ). Simplifying this results in ( 117 - 21y - 2y = 2 ), or ( 117 - 23y = 2 ), leading to ( 23y = 115 ) and ( y = 5 ). Plugging ( y = 5 ) back into ( x = 39 - 7(5) ) gives ( x = 4 ). Thus, the solution in ordered pair form is ( (4, 5) ).

How do you know that substitution gives the answer to a system of equations?

You put in the answers you got for your variables into one of the equations. If it gives you the correct answer then you solved it, if it's different then either it doesn't work or one of the steps wasn't completed correctly or at all.

Describe the solution to the system of equations 5x - y equals 8 and 25x-5y equals 32?

Substitution method: from first equation y = 5x - 8. In the second equation this gives 25x - 5(5x - 8) = 32 ie 25x - 25x + 40 = 32 ie 40 = 32 which is not possible, so the system has no solution. Multiplication method: first equation times 5 gives 25x - 5y = 40, but second equation gives 32 as the value of the identical expression. No solution.

In what ways does nondimesionalizationof Navier-Strokes equation is helpful in obtaining approximate solutions?

Nondimensionalization of equations are generally done to obtain the characteristic property of the system. Non Dimensionalization of incompressible navier stokes gives an equation in terms of Reynolds number hence simplifying the problem. Cheers Prasanth P


4x-7y equals 13 -2x plus 7y equals -3?

One way to solve this system of equations is by using matrices. Form an augmented matrix in which the first 2x2 matrix is the coefficient matrix and the 2x1 matrix on its right is the answer. Now apply Gaussian Elimination and back-substitution. Using this method gives x=5 and y=1.
