Solve for X and Y: Y=2+7x and -2x+6y=-28

Mathematics

Answer:

x=-1 and y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

ሰላም!

Given expressions let them given as two equations

  • y=2+7x....... equation (1)
  • -2x+6y=-28..... equation (2)

Thus, substitute y=2+7x into equation (2)

- 2x + 6(2 + 7x) =  - 28 \\

simplify it

- 2x + 12 + 42x =  - 28 \\ 40x + 12 =  - 28

subtract 12 from both sides

40x + 12 - 12 =  - 28 - 12 \\ 40x =  - 40

divide both sides by 40

\frac{40x}{40}  =  \frac{ - 40}{40} \\ x =  - 1

Therefore, as we get the value of x=-1 substitute it to equation (1) and solve for variable y

y = 2 + 7x \\ y = 2 + 7( -1 ) \\ y = 2 - 7 \\ y =  - 5

To be more sure make a cross check on both of the two expressions

Thus,

1) y=2+7x .... substitute y=-5 and x=-1 and check if it is equal

-5=2+7(-1)

-5=2-5

-5=-5

2)-2x+6y=-28... substitute and check

-2(-1)+6(-5)=-28

2-30=-28... (-a)(-b)=ab

-28=-28

Hope it helps!

Any one that knows this please help thanks!
zepelin [54]

Replace x with -1, and y = 9

Therefore, (x²y)/-7 becomes (-1² · 9)/-7

-1² is just 1, and 1 × 9 is just equal to 9, so your final answer is -9/7.
