Use elimination method to solve 5x+y=-10 7x-3y=-36

Mathematics
1 answer:

5x+y=-10\\ \\ 7x-3y=-36

Let's multiply the first equation by 3. (As you can see y's coefficient in the first one is 1 and in the second one is -3 , we will multiply the first equation by 3 so when we add the equations their sum will be 0)

3\cdot (5x+y)=3\cdot -10\\ \\ 15x+3y=-30

Now let's add this new equation and our second equation.

7x-3y=-36\\ \\ 15x+3y=-30\\ \\ (15x+3y)+(7x-3y)=(-30)+(-36)\\ \\ 15x+7x+3y-3y=-30-36\\ \\ 22x=-66\\ \\ x=\frac { -66 }{ 22 } \\ \\ x=-3

We found x=-3

Now let's plug x's value in one of the equations to find y's value.

x=-3\\ \\ 5x+y=-10\\ \\ 5\cdot -3+y=-10\\ \\ -15+y=-10\\ \\ y=-10+15\\ \\ y=5

So we found y=5

Solution ;

(-3, 5)

the value y varies directly with x. which function represents the relationship between x and y if y=20/3 when x=30?
joja [24]
If y varies directly with x, means that they can be modeled by a linear equation, lets choose a line with 0 y intercept, that is:
y = mx + b
y = mx
where m is the slope of the line, now we plug in the data we have:
y = mx
20/3 = m(30)
solving for m:
m = (20/3)(1/30)
m = 20/90
m = 2/9
so the line equation, or function modeling the y and x relationship is:
y = (2/9)x

At the same store, Peter bought 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts for $61, and Jessica bought 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts for $67.
svetlana [45]

Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>

Now, let's get these into an equation.

<em>Peter's equation</em> :

... 2p + 5s = 61

<em>Jessica's equation : </em>

...3p + 4s = 67

......................................................................................................

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>

Hope my answer helps!!

A ladder is leaning against a brick wall so that the top of the ladder is even with the top of the wall. If you know that the he
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:   the top of the ladder is at 24 feet from the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the unknown, since we notice that the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle formed by the horizontal distance from the wall to the base of the ladder, and the height of the top of the ladder against the wall. We need to find one of the triangle's sides given its hypotenuse and the other side, so we use the formula:
