How do you substitute x+y=2 3x+2y=5

First you have to solve for one of the unknowns in one of the problems, then substitute it into the other problem to solve for the other unknown... Sound complicated?... Not really! Let me show you...

Let's take the first equation... we'll solve for x

x + y = 2
x = 2 - y 

Ok, now we have an expression for the value of x.  It's 2 - y.  So let's substitute it into the other equation.

3x + 2y = 5
3 (2 - y) + 2y = 5  distribute the 3 into the parentheses
6 -3y + 2y = 5  now lets solve for y.  We need to isolate it so subtract 6                              from both sides.
6 - 3y + 2y - 6 = 5 - 6  Now combine like terms
-y = -1
y = 1

Now we have a number value for y we can substitute it back into the 1st equation and find the number value of x

x + y = 2
x + 1 = 2
x = 1

So our answer is (1, 1)

Wasn't that easy!!

Here's how you solve this.  So, x+y=2, right?  Let's isolate x.  x+y-y=2-y.  x=2-y.  NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y!  3x+2y=5.  3(2-y)+2y=5.  (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5.  6+(-3y)+2y=5.  6+(-y)=5.  6+(-y)-6=5-6.  -y=-1.  -y/-1=-1/-1.  y=1.

So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2.  x+1=2.  x+1-1=2-1.  x=1.  1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation.  3(1)+2(1)=5.  3+2=5.  5=5.  That's correct!

Answer: x=1, y=1

Describe two to evaluate 37% of the sum of 27 and 3/5 and 15.9
zhuklara [117]
First way is to first find the sum and then find 37% of it. Second way is another way round, find 37 of 27 3/5 and 37% of 15.9 and then add it.

Lets do it
37%=0.37
- its the result
Second way its
0.37* 27 3/5 + 0.37*15.9=10.212 + 5.888=16.095

a sixteen sided number cube has the numbers 1 through 16 on each face. each face is equally likely to show after a roll. what is
solong [7]
The possibilities of an even number are  2,  4,  6,  8,  10,  12,  14, and  16 .

The possibilities of an odd prime are  3,  5,  7,  11,  and  13.

8 even numbers + 5 odd primes  =  13 possibilities of success

                                                 out of 16 total possible outcomes.

Probability of success  =  13/16 =   0.8125  =  81.25% .

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, it's 0.813 .
