Answer:
a = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, divide both sides by 5 1/4
a = 7/8 / (5 1/4)
a = (7/8) / (21/4)
a= 7/8 * 4/21
a= 28/168
a= 1/6
You can substitute what y is into the second equation, so:
3x + 4(2x + 1) = 26
3x + 8x + 4 = 26
11x + 4 = 26
- 4
11x = 22
÷ 11
x = 2
y = (2 × 2) + 1
y = 5 + 1
y = 5
So you get x as 2 and y as 5, I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 1.5
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this system of equation using the substitution methods we say let
2x+3y=12................................... equation 1
y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2
substitute equation 2 into equation 1
2x+3y=12................................... equation 1
2x + 3( x + 1.5) = 12
2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12
5x + 4.5 = 12
collect the like terms
5x = 12 - 4.5
5x = 7.5
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 5
5x/5 = 7.5/5
x = 1.5
put x = 1.5 into equation 2
y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2
y = 1.5 + 1.5
y = 3
therefore the value of x = 1.5 and y = 3 respectively.
Answer:
