By substitution, the solution of the system of equations, 4x + 2y = 7 and y = 5x, is (1/2 , 5/2).

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more equations which includes common variables. To solve system of equations, we must find the value of the unknown variables used in the equations that must satisfy both equations.

There are three methods that can be used to solve system of linear equations.

1. Elimination

2. Substitution

3. Graphing

Using substitution method, given two linear equations in x and y,

4x + 2y = 7     (equation 1)

y = 5x     (equation 2)

Since the second equation is already expressed in y in terms of x, substitute the second equation to the first equation.

4x + 2y = 7     (equation 1)

4x + 2(5x) = 7

4x + 10x = 7

Combining all terms containing the variable x on one side and the constants on the other side of the equality, and solving for x.

4x + 10x = 7

14x = 7

x = 1/2

Substitute the value of x in the second equation and solve for y.

y = 5x

y = 5(1/2)

y = 5/2

Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is (1/2 , 5/2).

Found this on google to help you out but it states “ Find the first derivative of a function f(x) and find the critical numbers. Then, find the second derivative of a function f(x) and put the critical numbers. If the value is negative, the function has relative maxima at that point, if the value is positive, the function has relative maxima at that point.”

Answer:

38 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9 (1 point)

In the middle school PTA there is a total of 47 men and women. The number of women the PTA is 2 more than four times the number of men. How many women are in the

PTA?

Let the number of men = x

Let the number of women = y

x + y = 47

y = 2 + 4x

We substitute

x + 2 + 4x = 47

Collect like terms

5x = 47 - 2

5x = 45

x = 45/5 = 9

y = 2 + 4x

y = 2 + 4 × 9

y = 2 + 36

y = 38

Therefore, the number of women = y = 38 women
