X+2y=5 and 4x-12y=-20 solve using elimination and substitution

Mathematics

Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution:

x + 2y = 5  Solve for x

x = -2y + 5  Substitute -2y + 5 in for x in the second equation

4x - 12y = -20

4(-2y + 5) - 12y = -20  Distribute the 4

-8y + 20 - 12 y = -20  Combine the y term

-20y + 20 = -20  Subtract 20 from both sides

-20y = -40  Divide both sides by -20

y = 2

Plug y into either of the 2 original equations to get x.

x + 2y = 5

x + 2(2) = 5

x + 4 = 5

x = 1

The answer is (2,1).

Elimination:

x + 2y = 5      4x - 12y = -20.  We want to eliminate with the x or the y.  I am going to eliminate the x's that means that I have to multiply the first equation all the way through by -4

(-4)(x + 2y) = (5) (-4)  That makes the equivalent expression

-4x - 8y = -20  I will add that to 4x - 12y = -20

<u>4x - 12y = -20</u>

0x -20y = -40

-20y = -40

y = 2.  Plug 2 into either the 2 original equation to find x.  This time I will select the second original equation to find x.

4x -12y = -20

4x - 12(2) = -20

4x - 24 = -20

4x = 4

x = 1

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 155 centimeters and a leg of 124 centimeters. Which of these is the length of the other leg
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

let x be the other leg to be found, then

155² = 124² + x²

24025 = 15376 + x² ( subtract 15376 from both sides )

8649 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{8649} = x

Hence x = 93 cm ← length of other leg → a

What is 9.15 to the nearest tenth
tiny-mole [99]
The answer is 9.2, because when the number behind the number being rounded is 5 or above, you round up. if the number was 9.14, it would be rounded down to 9.1 :)
