X + y = 24

Mathematics

Answer:

The value of y is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the system of equation:

x + y = 24

5y = x

First, plug in 5y for x in the first equation:

x + y = 24

(5y) + y = 24

Simplify. Combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same amount of the same variable:

(5y + y) = 24

(6y) = 24

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 6 from both sides of the equation:

(6y)/6 = (24)/6

y = 24/6 = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in one of the given equations in the system of equation:

x + y = 24

x + (4) = 24

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4 from both sides of the answer:

x + 4 = 24

x + 4 (-4) = 24 (-4)

x = 24 - 4

x = 20

x = 20 , y = 4

~

Check. Use the other equation. Plug in 4 for y, and 20 for x:

5y = x

5(4) = (20)

5 * 4 = 20

20 = 20 (True)

~

The value of y is 4.

Answer:

4 liters of 5% solution and 16 liters of 17.5% solution we need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that x liters of 5% solution and y liters of 17.5% solution are taken.

So, x + y = 20 ........ (1)

As the final solution is of 15%, so we can write

\frac{\frac{5x}{100}+ \frac{17.5y}{100}}{x + y} = \frac{15}{100}

⇒ 5x + 17.5y = 300 ......... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2)  we get,  

17.5y - 5y = 200

⇒ 12.5y = 200

⇒ y = 16 liters

Hence, x = 20 - y = 4 liters.

Therefore, 4 liters of 5% solution and 16 liters of 17.5% solution we need. (Answer)

Can somewon help me plz
Cloud [144]

Answer: s=36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for s, we can use our algebraic properties to solve.

\frac{1}{3}s+14=26                    [subtract both sides by 14]

\frac{1}{3}s=12                            [multiply both sides by 3]

s=36

Answer:

x = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle D is the center then

x + 4 = 2 × (x - 47)

x + 4 = 2x - 94

4 + 94 = 2x - x

98 = x
