Answer:

x=3/2, y=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y =1

3x-5y =7

We will use elimination to solve these

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2x+4y =1)       6x +12y =3

Multiply the second equation by -2  so that the x coefficients are the opposites of each other (6 and -6)

-2(3x-5y =7)     -6x +10y =-14

Add the two new equations together

6x +12y =3

-6x +10y =-14

--------------------

0   + 22y = -11

Divide each side by 22

22y/22 = -11/22

y = -1/2

Now we can substitute y=-1/2 into the first equation and solve for x

2x + 4y =1

2x +4(-1/2) =1

2x -2 =1

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2=1+2

2x=3

Divide by 2

2x/2 =3/2

x = 3/2

3x + 3y =15 and x = -3y -1
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (8, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute for x in the first equation:

  3(-3y -1) +3y = 15

  -6y = 18 . . . . . add 3 and simplify

  y = -3 . . . . . . . divide by -6

  x = -3(-3) -1 = 8 . . . . find x using the second equation

The solution to this system of equations is (x, y) = (8, -3).

Under his cell phone plan, Ian pays a flat cost of $59.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill under $80 per
inessss [21]
You would start by saying his budget is $80 so you start with 80= he pays an initial fee of $59.50 every month plus $5 per gigabyte so you would set it up like
80=59.50+5x
X being how many gigabytes he uses then you solve 80-59.50 is 20.5 divided by 5 gives you 4.1 but you round down cause you don’t want to pass the limit so therefor the most gigabytes he can use is 4
