Remark

There are two ways to do this. You can graph the equations (which I have included at the end of the question using Desmos) or you can solve it algebraically which in this case is going to be slightly painful.

Algebra

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 3

<em><u>First Equation</u></em>

4 [3x + 4y = 16]

12x + 16y = 64             (3)

<em><u>Second Equation</u></em>

3 [-4x - 3y = - 19]

- 12x - 9y = - 57           (4)

Add (3) and (4)

12x + 16y = 64

<u>- 12x - 9y = -57 </u>           Add

7y = 7                           Divide by 7

y = 1

Solve for x

3x + 4y = 16         Let y = 1

3x + 4(1) = 16

3x + 4 = 16           Subtract 4

3x = 12                 Divide by 3

x = 12/3

x = 4

Answer

(4,1) just as the graph suggests.

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 16

-4x - 3y = -19

4( 3x + 4y = 16)

3( -4x - 3y = -19)

Distribute

12x + 16y = 64

-12x - 9y = -57

Now subtract both equations

7y = 7

/7 on both sides

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in one of the equations.

3x + 4y = 16

3x + 4(1) = 16

-4 on both sides

3x = 12

/3 on both sides

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

y = 1

Jake and Gloria are running on the track team. Gloria can run twice as many miles as
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

J+2J=12 so 3J=12 so J=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use J to represent Jake's miles.

We know that Gloria's miles (G) is twice J, so G=2J

We also know that Jake and Gloria together ran 12 miles.

So we know, J+2J=12 or 3J=12   meaning J=4

So Jake runs 4 miles, and since Gloria is two times that she ran 8 miles.

matrenka [14]

Answer: x=10 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3/4 from both sides. Multiply both sides by 3. Divide both sides by 2 (basically just isolate x on one side of the equal sign).
