If you are trying, for example, to find y in terms of x, you want to get an equation with only y on one side equal to an equation with x in it on the other side.
(x^2 - y^2) / (x - y) Apply the difference of squares formula: (x + y)(x - y) / (x - y) Assuming x is not equal to y, we can cancel terms leaving x + y When x = y, the denominator becomes 0, and the equation gives no information.
Please dont mind the βwhatβ
53,11 x+y=64 x-y=42 combine terms 2x=106 x=53 substitute x and solve for y 53+y=64 y=11
Follow this example. f(x) = (x+3)/5 To find its inverse, write y=f(x) y= (x+3)/5 Interchange x and y x = (y+3)/5 solve for y in terms of x 5x=y+3 y=5x-3 The inverse of f(x) is f^-1(x) = 5x-3
x+y+x =2x +y... I got this by simply combining like terms. I added the x's( 2x) and kept the y there which gave the answer
X (or Y) = (one value)
y = x + 2 y = 2 - x so x + 2 = 2 - x Combining like terms: 2x = 0 so that x = 0 and then, from the first equation, y = 2
one that won't talk to one another because they don't like each other... NO, seriously, they are terms that are different. For example x^2+2x+3x-4x^2. The x^2 terms are like terms and the x^2 terms and the x terms and unlike because they are different. Just like x and y, or apples and oranges.
No. It represents a function of x in terms of y but, in strict mathematical terms, not a function of y in terms of x. This is because the mapping from the domain (x values) to the range (y values) is 1-to-many. For each value of x, there can be 2 values of y. For example, x = 0 gives y2 = 1 so that y = ±1.
Yes, because they both contain the variable "x". y and 9x would not be like terms because they don't have the same variable. x and 9x2 would not be like terms because the variables are not raised to the same power.
In mathematical terms, a number x is less than y if y - x is positive.

Put x = 0 in the equation for y in terms of x.
x + 5y = 0 so x = -5y or y = -x/5 You can express x in terms of y or y in terms of x but it is not possible to solve a single linear equation in two variables.
i think it would be like this: 4:25 :: 1:6.25
x= z2 - 3
