Can anyone help me solve these linear systems using substitution?

Answer:

The solutions to the sets of equations may be found by either a substitution process or by graphing and looking for the point that the two lines formed by the quations intersect.  Both approaches are described.

The "solution" to these sets of equations is the point at which the two lines intersect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. 3x-y=4 and x+2y=6</u>

x+2y=6

<u>6x-2y=8</u>     We can simply add these two equations since y will            disappear, leaving just x.

7x = 14  [result of addition]

x = 2    [Solve]

Since x = 2,  [Then use the solution for x to find y]

x+2y=6

(2)+2y=6

2y = 4

y = 2

(2,2) is the solution (where the lines intersect).  See attached graph.

<u>2. 2x-y= -39 and x+y= -21</u>

2x-y= -39

<u>x+y= -21</u>               Add the two equations (since the y will be eliminated)

3x = -60

x = -20

Find y:  

x+y= -21

(-20)+y= -21

y = -1

Solution is (-20,-1)

<u>3. 2x+y =11 and 6x-5y =9</u>

2x+y =11

-6x+-3y = -33    [Multiply by -3 and then add to other equation.  This allows us to eliminate x]

<u> 6x - 5y =   9</u>

 -8y = - 24

y = 3

2x+y =11

2x+(3) =11

2x = 8

x = 4

Solution is (4,3)

==================

See attached graph for all the graphed solutions.

==================

The substitution process also works if we isolate one of the 2 variables in one equation and then use the resulting value in the second eqaution.  For example, in problem 1:

3x-y=4

x+2y=6

Pick either equation and isolate the x or y.  I'll pick the second equation and isolate for x:

x = 6-2y

Now use this value of x (6-2y) in the other equation:

3x-y=4

3(6-2y)-y=4

18 - 6y - y = 4

-7y = -14

y = 2

Then use y=2 to fiond x, using either equation:

x+2y=6

x+2(2)=6

x = 2

The solution is (2,2).

This same approach can be used on all these problems.  It avoids trying to visualize what can be done to an entire equation to eliminate one of the variables, but it takes a bit more paper.

All solutions are graphed in the attachment.

the area of a parallelogram is 36x^6y^5. if the base of the parallelogram is 3xy^2,what is the height of the parallelogram ​asap
trapecia [35]

Answer:

h = 12x^5y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is found using A = b*h. Substitute the values given and solve for h.

A = b*h

36x^6 y^5 = 3xy^2 * h

36x^6 y^5 ÷ 3xy^2 = h

12x^5y^3 = h

The area of a triangle is 80x^5y^3. The height of the triangle is x^4y. What is the length of the base of the triangle?
svetoff [14.1K]
Area of a triangle is given by 1/2bh where b is the base and h is the perpendicular height of the triangle.
The area is 80x∧5y³ and the height is x∧4y
Thus; 80x∧5y³ = 1/2(x∧4y) b
         160x∧5y³ = (x∧4y)b
                  b = (160x∧5y³)/ x∧4y)
                  b = 160xy²
Therefore, the base of the triangle is 160xy²

Find the median, first quartile, third quartile, interquartile range, and any outliers for each set of data. 111, 68, 93, 88, 74
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Q1 = 87 ;

Q2 = 102 ;

Q3 = 115 ;

IQR = 28

OUTLIER = None

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

111, 68, 93, 88, 74, 152, 119, 87, 88, 105, 84, 102, 151, 115, 112

Ordered data : 68, 74, 84, 87, 88, 88, 93, 102, 105, 111, 112, 115, 119, 151, 152

Sample size, n = 15

The first quartile, Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

Q1 = 1/4(15+1)th term

Q1 = 1/4(16) = 4th term

Q1 = 87

The Median , Q2 = 1/2(n+1)th term

Q2 = 1/2(15+1)th term

Q2 = 1/2(16) = 8th term

Q2 = 102

The third quartile, Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

Q3 = 1/4(15+1)th term

Q3 = 3/4(16) = 12th term

Q3 = 115

The interquartile range, IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = (115 - 87) = 28

Q1 = 87 ;

Q2 = 102 ;

Q3 = 115 ;

IQR = 28

OUTLIER = None

To answer b - You need to find how much it costs to rent a bike per hour. To do this divide the over all cost ($12) by your amount of time (3 hrs) to get $4 per hour. Same with the $20 per 5 hours!

I need help with this problem!!
pychu [463]
C because it has the x variables in the numerator. This is wrong because the x axis represents horizontal movement and slope is rise over run, not run over rise
