L1 : 4x+3y=-8 L2 : 3x-3y=15 Do L1+L2--> 7x=7 so x=1 in L1 4*(1)+3y=-8 3y=-12 y=-4 the couple of solution is(1,-4)

doing L1+L2-->4x+3x+3y-3y=-8+15 --->7x=7 x=1 do u understand?

132/2=66 66/2=33 33/3=11 so 132=3*11*2^2

yes masculin country --> au exemple : au canada au mexique au japon... féminin --> en en chine en france...

it's right but in fact the best argument if x is a number A^x=exp(x*ln(A)) and exp(0)=1 but i don't know if you know exp and log functions lol

i don't know what is your level in maths.. so you can write x^a/x^a=1 but,in fact,it's wring because it's not defined for x=0 so your answer is right but in high school it's wrong...

i don't know what is your level in maths.. so you can write x^a/x^a=1 but,in fact,it's wring because it's not defined for x=0 so your answer is right but in high school it's wrong...

your sentences are correct but for a better translation: je suis japonais(e) et je suis aussi canadien(ne) j'étudie à l'université j'habite Richmond, une ville du canada j'aime écouter de la musique moderne

your answer is correct

little mistake: when you multiply 8x-16/x-3 by x-3 u have to multiply 8x too

little mistake you got x²=(x+5)(x-4)

are u sure it's a-c/d-b for the 2nd term??

a/b=c/d ->ad=bc a+c / b+d = a-c / b-d ->(a+c)(b-d)=(a-c)(b+d) ->ab+cb-ad-dc=ab+ad-cb-cd ->2ad=2bc so the given proportions are equivalent

do u understand my answer??

i'm french so i don't know how do u solve this equation in usa 5x^2 - 11x - 36 = 0 11²-4*5*(-36)=121+720=841 sqrt(841)=29 solutions are (11-29)/(2*5) and (11+29)/(2*5)

510000000/392000000=1.301 the increase : 30.1%

yes, it's right

it's wrong you have 6x²(5x+3)-(5x+3) and you can facorize it

(5x+3)(6x²-1) or (5x+3)(sqrt(6)x-1)(sqrt(6)x+1)

ax+x<0 (a+1)x<0 right for : x<0 or a+1<0

je regarde tu regardes il/elle/on regarde nous regardons vous regardez ils/elles regardent

yes;it's correct

un lecteur cd it is not different for a male or a female

for the tittle--> Noël(it's better) line1: lasaison de Noël est l'époque de l'année que je préfère. line2: je célèbre Noël **what's the englis on your text for"famille étendue"/l'année dernière à l'époque de Noël line3 nous avons décoré ensemble... line4...

see my answer on your first post

"famille étendue" n'existe pas en français. Pouvez-vous me donner un exemplle de gens qui sont des membres de "extended family".

ok, but in french there is no difference between nuclear and extended family nuclear and extended family=la famille

ce que vous désignez par "extended family" se traduit en français par"belle-famille" mais writeacher donne une autre définition par rapport à la votre, laquelle est la bonne??

ok donc, votre définition se traduit par"belle-famille" et celle du dictionnaire par"famille" car il n'existe pas de distinction en français entre nuclear and extended family (commr ça,vous parlerez un meilleur français)

read my correction, there are some mistakes again

yes, just conjugate "aimer" "aimer mieux" is not a verb,"aimer" is the verb

27=3^3 so a^3-27= a^3-3^3= (a-3)(a²+3a+3²)= (a-3)(a²+3a+9)

two numbers: x,y x-y=16 5y=8-3x u have to solve this system

try to solve this equation with X=x^5 so u have x^10+x^5+1--->> X²+X+1 and it's much easier to solve this equation

L1: x-y=16 L2: 5y=8-3x in L1: x=16+y so in L2 : 5y=8-3*(16+y)=8-48-3y so 8y=-40 y=-5 in L1 : x-y=16 x-(-5)=16 x=11 if u don't understand this, u have to read your math lesson

so do u succeed??

x=price of a sweater y=price of a shirt the system is: x=2y-5 4x+3y=200 so try to solv the system

aimes-tu mieux le rock?

yes i like France: j'aime la France

1)se levait à huit heures 2)il prenait son petit déjeuner 3)sa maman 4)son papa amenait Pierre... 5)il était le premier please can you post the english for the rest of your translation

tu trouveras ta place dans nos coeurs j'aime beaucoup ça je me souviens de ça

'nouvelle' is the feminine of 'nouvel'and 'nouveau'. 'nouvel' and 'nouveau' are the same thing but we use 'nouvel' in front of a vowel and 'h' 'neuf' is about an obect and means 'not used'

la nouvelle-zélande=new zeland to lolo: here, we can help you

w^4+w^3-w=1 w^4+w^3-w-1=0 (w-1)(w^3+2w^2+2w+1)=0 (w-1)(w+1)(w^2+w+1)=0 so real solutions are 1 and -1 complex solutions are 1 -1 j j^2 with j=exp(2Pi/3)

sentence 2: it's present, first person : je ne comprends pas. sentence 3: two choices: florence prend un dis que de jazz and florence met un disque de jazz.(the second is better)

sentence 3: centre Pompidou

ok.good. and you have to use " d' " and not "d" for all

b)mots possibles : grue(in french it's a bird) marteau(object and a bone)

oh....it's false 12 squared=x(x+6) 144=x²+6x x²+6x+9=153 (x+3)²=153 answers: x+3=3*sqrt(17) or x+3=-3*sqrt(17)

|x+y|²=(x+y)dot(x+y) =|x|²+xdoty+ydotx+|y|² =|x|²+2(xdoty)+|y|² ...

|x+y|²=|x|²+2(xdoty)+|y|² 2(xdoty)=|x+y|²-|x|²-|y|² ...

you're right but saying x²+6x-144=0 is not factorable, it is a mistake x²+6x-144=x²+6x+9-153=(x+3)²-153=(x+3+sqrt(153))*(x+3-sqrt(153)) so u can factorize it

ok, thanks. in france 'factoring'is restricted to 3 'identities' as a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b) a²+2ab+b²=(a+b)² and a²-2ab+b²=(a-b)²...so diferents countries=diferents matematics lol

sorry, but u say that 'factoring' is restricted to the set of rational numbers..and about the cumplex numbers???

le jardin is a place with herb. and generally la terrasse is in concrete

Q(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d Q(1)=a+b+c+d=0 Q'(x)=3ax^2+2bx+c Q'(1)=3a+2b+c=0 Q''(x)=6ax+2b Q''(1)=6a+2b=2 Q'''(x)=6a Q'''(1)=6a=12 so u can solve and find the polynom

the second answer is better...

la salle de bain-->les salles de bain deux salles de bain means two bathroom

our house has 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen-->notre maison a deux chambres, un séjour(or un salon or une salle de séjour), une cuisine

j'habite chez ma mère je loue la maison, j'y habite

it's dificult to a "no-french person" understand this process: normaly: la salle de bain, les salles de bain BUT if u have two (or more) "bath" in your bathroom so it's: la salle de bains les salles de bains so u can choose if u want a 's' or not for 'bai...

ici-bas means "on Earth"

happiness here below has no price

little mistake x²-2x-24=(x-4)(x+6)

(x+3/4)(x-4)=x²+3/4x-4x-3=x²-(13/4)x-3 if u want to know if your answer is right or false, it's easy f(x)=x²-(13/4)x-3 and u can verify if f(4)=0 and f(-3/4)=0

do u cumplex numbers???

do u know cumplex numbers???as your sqrt is negative(b²-4ac=-95) you have to use cumplex numbers to solve this equation

so 6x²+x+4=0 has no one solution(no one real solution but there are cumplex solution : it's (-1+-isqrt95)/12

(1000!-999!-998!)/(1000!+999!+998!)= 998!(1000*999-999-1)/998!(1000*999+999+1)= (1000*999-1000)/(1000*999+1000)= (1000*998)/(1000*1000)=998/1000 and u can simplify this number

-x^4-102x²+200=0 X=x² -X²-102X+200=0 try to solve this equation and then u can solve -x^4-102x²+200=0

x^3+x^2-22x-40=(x+4)(x^2-3x-10) =(x+4)(x+2)(x-5)

why not grande-mère??good question 400 years ago, the feminine was grand'mère, grand'tante... the ' simbolized the feminine in 1932, l'"académie française" changed the ' by - so it became grand-mère, grand-tante to the plurial there are two posibilities :...

yes, je fais cuire, tu fais cuire... it is correct..

Chère Megan, Je m'appelle Nadine et j'ai treize ans. Je suis ta correspondante(feminine form).J'apprends le français depuis deux ans et je pense que c'est une langue magnifique. Je me présente : j'habite à Anchorage avec mes parents et mes frères. Durant...

"Je le vois" est le mieux - i see him je la vois i see her

i see it - "je le vois" or "je la vois" to distinguish the two : the same thing in english "i see it" refers to a thing, an object "i see him/her" refers to a person so je le/la vois : if you can ask"je vois QUOI? le/la refers to a thing i see the chair/i...

one more thing je LUI vois means "je lui prédis" (i preditc him/her) in this case with the term "lui" the verb "voir" means"prédire/to predict)

merci de complimenter mon travail or merci pour les compliments pour mon travail or merci des compliments pour mon travail ...

or merci de me complimenter pour mon travail (yes i know, french is very difficult)

the second question : i think it was : ils( or elles) vous veulent.... the subject is "ils"(or "elles") so you have the third person plural the correct form is "aimez-vous les roses?" but "vous aimez les roses?" is correct too

comprenez-vous bien le français?? car cela va être difficile pour moi de répondre à votre question en anglais.

ok ici "des" est le pluriel de l'article partitif. l'article partitif est employé pour parler d'une quantité pas précise. Ici "nous voulons manger des épinards", on parle d'une certaine quantité d'épinards mais ce n'est pas une quantité précise. MAIS La f...

or it is a question vous veulent-ils/elles...? but "vous veulent" is incorrect

vous ne pouvez pas nous donner un livre or tu ne peux pas nous donner un livre

negative form : ne + verbe conjugué + pas/plus.... or ne + pas/plus ... + verbe à l'infinitif so in your first sentence, the negative form refers to the verb "donner" = not to give in your second sentence, the negative form refers to the verb "pouvoir" =...

but vous pouvez ne pas nous donner une pomme is correct too but

yes,you're right

tu as un chien?? when you speak french as-tu un chien? and est-ce que tu as un chien? when you write french
