4x-12y=-20 substitution method

Mathematics

If we solve the equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20 then we will get x=1 and y=-2.

Given two equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20.

We are required to find the value of x and y through substitution method.

Equation is like a relationship between two or more variables expressed in equal to form. Equations of two variables look like ax+by=c. Equation can be a linear equation,quadratic equation, cubic equation or many more depending on the power of variable.

They can be solved as under:

x-2y=5---------------1

4x+12y=-20--------2

Finding value of variable x from equation 1.

x=5+2y--------------3

Use the value of variable  x in equation 2.

4x+12y=-20

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

20+8y+12y=-20

20y=-20-20

20y=-40

y=-40/20

y=-2

Use the value of variable y in equation 3.

x=5+2y

x=5+2*(-2)

x=5-4

x=1

Hence if we solve the equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20 then we will get x=1 and y=-2.

Question is incomplete as it should include one more equation x-2y=5.

For the right triangle shown, which expression represents the length of CA?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

  b. 5tan(25°)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function gives the ratio between the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle. That is ...

  tan(25°) = ?/5

Multiplying by 5 solves the equation:

  ? = 5·tan(25°)

Easy I am just not sure on how to solve it please give answer and how I would solve it

You want to compare the square root of 55 using "mental math". Start off by choosing two perfect squares that you can think of that are close to 55.

If you don't know perfect squares then start with the number 2 and multiply it by itself. 2 times 2 equals 4, so 4 is a perfect square.

Take the number 3, multiply it by itself, and so on. Do this for all the numbers until you find two perfect squares that are close to 55.

The two perfect squares closest to 55 are the square roots of 49 and 64. Find the square root of these numbers.

√49 = 7

√64 = 8

Calculate how far 55 is from 49 and 64. 55 is 6 digits away from 49 and 9 digits away from 64.

This means the square root of 55 will be closer to the square root of 49; 7. Since we know that it will be closer to 7, you can put the less than sign for your answer.

√55 < 7.7

(The actual square root of 55 is ~7.4, so we were correct in determining the answer without using a calculator!)
