X + 3y = 14
x + 3(3x - 14) = 14
x + 9x - 42 = 14
10x - 42 = 14
<u>      + 42 + 42</u>
       <u>10x</u> = <u>56</u>
        10     10
           x = 5.6
5.6 + 3y = 14
<u>- 5.6         - 5.6</u>
         <u>3y</u> = <u>8.4</u>
          3       3
           y = 2.7
     (x, y) = (2.7, 5.6)

For this problem, you first plug y=3x-14 in to x+3y=4

The equation will thin look like this:
x+3(3x-14)-14

since the value of y is equal to 3x-14, that means that 3y=3(3x-14)

then you distribute 3 into 3x-14
it will look like this:
3*(3x)+3*(-14)
(9x)+(-42)
9x-42

now you should have written x+9x-42=14

next, combine like terms
x+9x-42=14

10x-42=14
    <u>+42 +42</u>
10x=56

now, you divide 56 by 10
<u>10x</u>=<u>56</u>
10    10

x=5.6

okay, now that x has been solved for, we now need to find the value of y
the simplest way to go about this is to choose the equation that already has y by its-self.
y=3x-14
plug 5.6 in to x
y=3(5.6)-14
now solve for y

y=(16.8)-14
y=2.8

FINAL ANSWER
y=2.8
x=5.6

if you want to check your work, you can plug x and y into either equation

x+3y=14
(5.6)+3(2.8)=14
5.6+8.4=14
14=14

y=3x-14
(2.8)=3(5.6)-14
2.8=16.8-14
2.8=2.8

I hope this helps.

A car uses 1 1/8 gallons of gas to go 13 1/2<br> miles. What is the rate of miles per gallon?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1 1/8 ga / 13.5 mi = .0833 ga / mi

1 / .0833 ga/mi = 12 mi / ga

or .0833 ga/mi * 13.5 mi = 1.25 ga

Translate the expression into a word phrase. k + 12 A. a number less than 12 B. 12 more than a number C. the product of a number
Burka [1]
The answer is b) 12 more than a number

when you use the word "more than" it means addition. when you use the word "less than" it means subtraction. when you use the word "product of" it means multiplication. when you use "quotient of" it mean division.

hope that helps, God bless! <span />

Solve the system of equations x+y=-8 and -9x-6y=60 by combining the equations
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = - 4    y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= - 8

-9x-6y=60

First, solve for x in the first equation:

x+y = - 8       Subtract y from both sides

x + y - y = -8 - y    y cancels on the left

x = - 8 - y

Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.

- 9x - 6y = 60

-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60   Multiply out

72 + 9y - 6y = 60

72 + 3y = 60  Subtract 72 from both sides

72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72    72 cancels on the left

3y = - 12     Divie both sides by 3

3y/3 = -12/3     3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1

y = -4

Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.

x + y = -8

x + (-4) = - 8  Add 4 to each side

x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4   4 cancels on the left

x = -4

x = - 4 and y = - 4
