Solve the simultaneous equation 2x + 3y = 7 3x + 2y = 8​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 7 → (1)

3x + 2y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by - 2 and adding will eliminate x

6x + 9y = 21 → (3)

- 6x - 4y = - 16 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 5y = 5

5y = 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 1

substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 3(1) = 7

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 1 )

You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.

1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.

2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.

3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.

4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

x = -6

x = 2

x² + 4 - 12 = 0

= (x + 6)(x - 2)

x + 6 = 0

x = -6

x - 2 = 0

x = 2
