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.

Pls help in this aaaaaa

The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).

Error in question aside, and  ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.

Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.
