How to do 2x-8=7y and 6x-9y=-4

Mathematics

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = -25/6

y = -7/3

Discussion:

2x - 8 = 7y                    => multiply both sides by 3

6x - 24 = 21y    

Subtract this from the second equation:

  6x -9y= -4

  6x -24 = 21y

-   --------------------------

0x -9y + 24 = -4 - 21y              =>   add 21y to both sides

-9y + 21y + 24 = -4                    =>  add -24 to both sides

-9y +21y + (24 - 24) = -4 -24     =>

12y = - 28                                   =>

y = -28/12

y = -7/3

Solving for x,  

2x - 8 = 7(-7/3)           =>

2x - 8 = -49/3            => add 8 = 24/3 to both sides

2x = -49/3 + 24/3      =>

2x = -25/3                 => divide both sides by 2

x = -25/6

Thank you,

MrB

James just bought a large container of ice cream. The label says that there are 16 servings of ice cream.
Ludmilka [50]
The correct formula that must be used is y=x/16. Variable 'x' represents the total mass of ice cream in the container. Mass of ice cream per serving is represented by the variable 'y'. The total mass of ice cream is divided by sixteen to determine the number of grams per serving.
