it is the same denominator therefore only the numerators are added and the sign is maintained. The answer is -12/9 but it can be reduced to -4/3.
Add 12 to both sides of the equal sign, then simplify.
This is a geometric series with first term e^3 and common ratio e^-2. The sum of it will be
.. e^3/(1 -e^-2) ≈ 23.229277815766...
2(2x) + 1x = 40 or 4x + 1x = 40 is the result of combining by substitution
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to combine 2y + 1x = 40 and y = 2x using substitution method
The substitution method for solving systems of equations involves expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.
<em><u>Given equations are:</u></em>
2y + 1x = 40 -------- eqn 1
y = 2x ----------- eqn 2
We can substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
Which means, substitute y = 2x in place of y in eqn 1
2(2x) + 1x = 40
4x + 1x = 40
5x = 40
x = 8
From eqn 2,
y = 2(8)
y = 16
Thus by combining using substitution method we found the solution
