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

Your hourly salary increased from $15 to $22 what is the precent increase in your salary?
Elanso [62]

The percentage increase is 46%.

Original number/start = $15

End number = $22

Increase = $22 - $15 = $7

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100

Substitute in known values

% increase = 7 ÷ 15 × 100

Divide

% increase = 0.46 × 100

Multiply

% increase = 46%

The percentage increase is 46%.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

percent of green marbles = (total number of green marbles / total number of marbles in the bag) x 100

total number of marbles in the bag = 30 + 20 = 50

30 / 50 x 100 = 60%
