Solve the system of equations 5x-2y=88 3x+4y=58 show all work

2 answers:

6 0

The given equations are:

5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y = 58

Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:

10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58

Adding the two equations, we get:

10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x = 18

Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:

5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1

So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5x-2y=88&1^o\\3x+4y=58&2^o\end{array}\right\\\\1^o\ 5x-2y=88\ \ \ \ |\text{subtract 5x from both sides}\\-2y=-5x+88\ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\y=2.5x-44\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to the equation}\ 2^o$

$3x+4\cdot(2.5x-44)=58\\3x+10x-176=58\\13x-176=58\ \ \ |\text{add 176 to both sides}\\13x=234\ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 13}\\x=18\\\\\text{substitute value of x to the equation}\ 1^o\\\\y=2.5\cdot18-44=45-44=1\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=18\\y=1\end{array}\right}$

Louise cleaned for 4 and one-half hours and charged $27. At the same hourly rate, what would she charge for 6 and one-half hou

grin007 [14]

Answer: 39$

Step-by-step explanation: 4 hrs and 30 mins and you make 27$

You gotta make the hrs into minutes. So you can find the rate. 4 hrs is 240 minutes. With the 30 minutes its a total of 270 minutes. You're earning 1 dollar every 10 minutes. So i think if i did the math right 390 minutes is 6 hrs and 30 mins. And so she has earned 39$.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?

Solution:

First Swing:

24 m

Second Swing:

Half of first, so

24(1/2)

Third Swing:

Half of second, so:

24(1/2)(1/2)

Fourth Swing:

24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)

So we see the general formula as:

$24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}$

Note: n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1

where n is the number of swings
