If 2x+ y= 10 and y=3x find the value of both x and y

Mathematics

Given the set of equations:

2x + y = 10

y = 3x

Let's solve for x and y.

Here, let's use substitution method.

Substitute 3x for y in equation 1:

2x + y = 10

2x + 3x = 10

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5:

\begin{gathered} \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{10}{5} \\  \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

In equation 2, substitute 2 for x to find y.

y = 3x

y = 3(2)

y = 6

Therefore, we have:

x = 2 and y = 6

ANSWER:

x = 2, y = 6

If 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(5a, 2a),
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value of a is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of a point (x_o,y_0) from the y-axis can be written as d_y=|x_o|  because the x-coordinate of the y-axis is zero.

Similarly, the distance of a point  from the x-axis can be written as d_x=|y_0|

since the y-coordinate of the x-axis is zero.

In this problem:

- The distance of the point A (−30, −45) from the y-axis can be written as

d_A=|-30|=30

- The distance of point B (5a,2a) from the x-axis can be written as

d_B=|2a|=2a

Since a>0

We are told that 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), which means

\frac{2}{3}d_A=\frac{1}{4}d_B

Therefore,

\frac{2}{3}(30)=\frac{1}{4}(2a)

And solving for a,

20=\frac{1}{2}a\\a=40

Determine the better buy by comparing unit rates.
ANTONII [103]
To find the better buy we have to find the cost per pen for each.

1. 20 pens for $1.60 -> 1.60/20 = .08 cents per pen.
25 pens for $2.25 -> 2.25/25 = .09 cents per pen.

The best buy is 20 pens for $1.60 because it's cheaper per pen. 

2. 13 berries for $2.60 -> 2.60/13 = .20 cents per berry
17 berries for $3.06 -> 3.06/17 = .18 cents per berry

The best buy is 17 berries for $3.06 because it's cheaper per berry.
