Y = x-4

2x + y = 5
2x + (x-4) = 5
3x - 4 = 5
3x = 9
x = 3

Substitution is done by replacing a variable for an equation. In this case:

2x+y=5
would be
2x+(x-4)=5 (If you notice, you see that the value of x was replaced in the main equation)

Then you would solve as normal.

2x+x-4=5
3x-4=5
3x=9
x=3

Then we can plug in x for any one of the equations to find y.
y=x-4
y=3-4
y=-1

So the solution is x=3 and y=-1.

Are the inequalities x > 3 and 3 < x equivalent?

They both say that x must be larger than 3. No bickering here. So yep, they're equivalent.

Inequalities usually have a lot of solutions—in fact, infinitely many. Think about the inequality x > 3. This inequality states that "x must be larger than 3." Any number bigger than 3 is a solution to this inequality. That includes 3.001, 3.0001, 4, 5, 2 million, and every other number bigger than 3. We don't have time at the moment to name them all,

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

b+6

Problem:

If the average of b and c is 8, and d=3b-4, what is the average of c and d in terms of b?

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given (b+c)/2=8 and d=3b-4.

We are asked to find (c+d)/2 in terms of variable, b.

We need to first solve (b+c)/2=8 for c.

Multiply both sides by 2: b+c=16.

Subtract b on both sides: c=16-b

Now let's plug in c=16-b and d=3b-4 into (c+d)/2:

([16-b]+[3b-4])/2

Combine like terms:

(12+2b)/2

Divide top and bottom by 2:

(6+1b)/1

Multiplicative identity property applied:

(6+b)/1

Anything divided by 1 is that anything:

(6+b)

6+b

b+6

A projector was sold after allowing 10% discount on the marked price and levying 13% VAT .If the selling price of the projector
Tom [10]

The marked price of the projector is $50,000.

<h3>What is the marked price?</h3>

The price of the projector after the discount can be represented with:

(100 - 10%)x - 90%x = 0.90x

Where x is the marked price

The price of the projector after the VAT is : (1.13) x 0.90x = 1.02x

Difference in price = 1.02x - 0.90x = 5850

0.12x = 5850

x = 5850 / 0.12

x = $50,000
