Find the solution: 3x + 2y = 12 -2x + 3y = 5

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 12

-2x + 3y = 5 to find the solution we will use elimination method and for that, multiply second equation with 3 and the first equation with 2

<em>2 * 3x + 2y = 12</em>

<em>6x + 4y = 24</em>

<u>3 * -2x + 3y = 5</u>

<u>-6x + 9y = 15</u>  now find the sum of both equation:

<em>6x + 4y  </em><u>-6x + 9y</u> = 24 + 15 add like terms

13y = 39 divide both sides by 13

y = 3 now that we found the value of y we can use this to calculate the value of x

3x + 2y = 12 replace y with 3

3x + 2*2 = 12

3x + 4 = 12 subtract 4 from both sides

3x = 9 divide both sides by 3

x = 3

Find the equation of the line shown.
Luda [366]

Answer:

y = -x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the slope using (9, 0) and (7, 2):

slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 0}{7 - 9} = \frac{2}{-2} = -1

Slope (m) = -1

✔️Find the y-intercept (b):

The line intercepts the y-axis when y = 9. Therefore, y-intercept (b) = 9

✔️Substitute m = -1 and b = 9 into y = mx + b

Thus,

y = -1(x) + 9

y = -x + 9

Line segment ab has endpoints a(9, 3) and b(2, 6). find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from
Dominik [7]
When we are to divide the line segment such that the ratio is 1:2, there are actually 3 parts of the segment. First, we determine the distance between the coordinates and divide the distance by 3. Then, we add the quotient to the x-coordinate.

x-coordinate:    (2 - 9) / 3 = -7/3
y-coordinate:    (6 - 3 ) / 3 = 1

Adding them to the coordinates of a,
           x - coordinate: (9 - 7/3) = 20/3
           y - coordinate: (3 + 1) = 4
Thus, the coordinates are (20/3, 4).

ryan rides his bicycle 5 miles in 3/4 hour. how many miles can he ride at the same rate in 1 hour? (in fractions)​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

20/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ryan rides his bike 5 miles in 3/4 of an hour, then he rides 5/3 miles in 1/4 of a hour (divide both by 3). To get to a full hour from 1/4, you need to multiply it by 4. You must do the same for 5/3. 5/3*4 is equal to 20/3.
