Answer:

Emily raised $37.50

Justin raised $57.50

Step-by-step explanation:

(Step 1)

Say "x" equals the amount of money Emily made and "y" equals the amount of money Justin made. You can set up an equation with both of these variables because we know that they made a combined $95.

x = Emily's earnings

y = Justin's earnings

Emily + Justin = 95

x + y = 95

(Step 2)

The fact that there are two variables makes it difficult to find how much each person made individually. However, we can eliminate the "y" variable when we remember that Justin made $20 more than Emily. Now, we can substitute "x + 20" in for "y".

x + 20 = y

x + y = 95

x + (x + 20) = 95

(Step 3)

Finally, we can solve for the "x" variable.

x + (x + 20) = 95

2x + 20 = 95 <------ Combine like terms

2x = 75 <------ Subtract 20 from both sides

x = 37.5 <------- Divide both sides by 2

(Step 4)

Since we know the value of "x", we can plug it into one of the equations to find the value of "y".

x + 20 = y

37.5 + 20 = y

y = 57.5

Answer:

(a) x=2, y=-1

(b) x=2, y=2

(c) $\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) x=-2, y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cramer's Rule

It's a predetermined sequence of steps to solve a system of equations. It's a preferred technique to be implemented in automatic digital solutions because it's easy to structure and generalize.

It uses the concept of determinants, as explained below. Suppose we have a 2x2 system of equations like:

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{ax+by=p} \atop {cx+dy=q}} \right.$

We call the determinant of the system

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}a &b \\c &d \end{vmatrix}$

We also define:

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}p &b \\q &d \end{vmatrix}$

And

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}a &p \\c &q \end{vmatrix}$

The solution for x and y is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}$

(a) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{x+y=1} \atop {x-2y=4}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-4=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}1 &1 \\1 &4 \end{vmatrix}=4-3=3$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{3}{-3}=-1$

The solution is x=2, y=-1

(b) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{4x-y=6} \atop {x-y=0}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}4 &-1 \\1 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-4+1=-3$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\0 &-1 \end{vmatrix}=-6-0=-6$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}4 &6 \\1 &0 \end{vmatrix}=0-6=-6$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2$

The solution is x=2, y=2

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{-x+2y=0} \atop {x+2y=5}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &2 \\1 &2 \end{vmatrix}=-2-2=-4$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}0 &2 \\5 &2 \end{vmatrix}=0-10=-10$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}-1 &0 \\1 &5 \end{vmatrix}=-5-0=-5$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{-10}{-4}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{-5}{-4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The solution is

$\displaystyle x=\frac{5}{2}, y=\frac{5}{4}$

(d) The system to solve is

$\displaystyle \left \{ {{6x-y=-5} \atop {4x-2y=6}} \right.$

Calculating:

$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-1 \\4 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=-12+4=-8$

$\Delta_x=\begin{vmatrix}-5 &-1 \\6 &-2 \end{vmatrix}=10+6=16$

$\Delta_y=\begin{vmatrix}6 &-5 \\4 &6 \end{vmatrix}=36+20=56$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{\Delta_x}{\Delta}=\frac{16}{-8}=-2$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{\Delta_y}{\Delta}=\frac{56}{-8}=-7$

The solution is x=-2, y=-7

How many solutions does 2.3y+3.2-y=2.1+1.3y+1.1 have?

jeka57 [31]

1.3y +3.2 = 1.3y +3.2

we notice that both sides of the equation are identical. So substitute y with any value and the equation would still be correct.

y has infinite solutions.
