Hope this helps you out :D
It’s 2 equations so in order to solve the previous system, you can use different methods, as for example substitution or addition of equations. In this case, you use the second one, due to the fact you have 7x in one equation and -7x in the other equation. In this way you can easily eliminate variable x and then solve for y. With the value of y you can replace in any of the two equations and solve for x.
7x-y=-1
-7x+3y=-25
Summarizing, you proceed as follow:
- add up the given equations
7x - y = -1
-7x+3y=-25
——————
0 +2y=-26
- solve for y in the previous equation
2y=-26
y=-26/2
y=-13
- replace the obtained value of y in one of the given equations, and solve for x
7x-(-13)=-1
7x+13=-1
7x=-1-13
7x=-14
x=-14
x=-14/7
x=-2
Hence, the solution of the given systems of equation is:
X=-2
Y=-13
Answer:
Each daylilies cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
let roses be x
and daylilies be y
so
8x+15y=193--------------1
also
3x+12y=117--------------2
we can solve equations 1 and 2 by substitution
8x=193-15y
x=(193-15y)/8
put x= (193-15y)/8 in 3x+12y=117
3((193-15y)/8)+12y=117
(579-45y)/8+12y=117
579-45y=8(117-12y)
579-45y=936-96y
collect like terms
579-936=-96y+45y
-357=-51y
divide both sides by -51
y=-357/-51
y=7
Hence each daylilies cost $7
put y=7 in eqn 1
8x+15(7)=193
8x+105=193
8x=193-105
8x=88
x=88/8
x=11
rose cost $8
Answer:
Acute and Obtuse..I cant see any right
Step-by-step explanation:
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!
