GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

Answer:

(x, y) = (- 3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 2y = - 7 → (1)

4x - y = - 16 → (2)

multiply all terms in (2) by 2

8x - 2y = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(5x + 8x) + (2y - 2y) = (- 7 - 32)

13x = - 39 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y

substituting in (1) gives

(5 × - 3) + 2y = - 7

- 15 + 2y = - 7 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4

solution is (- 3, 4 )

What is the length of the rectangle?
gregori [183]

Step-by-step explanation:

area \: of \: rectangle \:  = 60 \:  {yards}^{2}  \\  \therefore \: (w + 4) \times \: w = 60\\  \\  \therefore \:  {w}^{2}  + 4w -60 = 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: {w}^{2}  + 10w - 6w -60 = 0 \\  \\   \therefore \: w({w} + 10) - 6(w  + 10)= 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: ({w} + 10) (w- 6)= 0 \\ \therefore \: {w} + 10 = 0 \: or \: w- 6 = 0 \\  \therefore \: {w}   = -  10  \: or \: w =  6  \\  \because \: sides \: of \: rectangle \: cant \: be \: negative \\  \therefore \: w \neq \:    - 10 \\  \\ \therefore \: w = 6 \\  \\ \therefore \: w + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 \\  \\ length \: of \: rectangle \:  = 10 \: yards.

One number is 1/4 of another number. The sum of the two numbers is 5. Find the two numbers. Use a comma to separate your answer
masha68 [24]

Answer: 1, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Number #1 = x
  • Number #2 = \frac{1}{4} x

\frac{1}{4} x+x=5\\\\\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{4}{4} x=5\\\\\frac{5}{4} x=5\\\\5x=4*5\\5x=20\\x=4

  • Number #1 = x = 4
  • Number #2 = \frac{1}{4} x = \frac{1}{4} *4=\frac{4}{4} =1
