X=y-1 y=(4-2x) solve by substition

Mathematics

Nataliya [291]3 years ago

Since you have an equation equal to both x and y, you can either substitute the equation equal to x for x or the equation equal to y for y.
x=y-1
y=4-2x
I would substitute the y in using 4-2x
x=(4-2x)-1
x=3-2x
3x=3
x=1
Then plug in x and solve for y
1=y-1
2=y

Solve 3x − 2y = −21 and 2x + 5y = 5 using elimination
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

x = -5 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two equations :

3x − 2y = −21 ....(1)

2x + 5y = 5 ......(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

6x - 4y = -42 ...(3)

6x + 15y = 15 ....(4)

Subtract equation (4) from (3) :

6x - 4y - (6x + 15y) = -42 -15

-4y -15y = -57

-19y = -57

y = 3

Put y = 3 in equation (2) :

2x + 5(3) = 5

2x = 5-15

2x = -10

x = -5

So, the value of x is (-5) and y = 3.

Santa and his elves had a workshop that allowed them to produce 22{,}912{,}546{,}99222,912,546,99222, comma, 912, comma, 546, co
zvonat [6]

Answer: 180 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Production capacity of old workshop :22,912,546,992 toys per year

Production capacity of new workshop:

4,134,232,638,937 toys

Approximately how many times as many toys can the new workshop produce each year compared to the old workshop?

Production capacity of new workshop / production capacity of old workshop

= 4,134,232,638,937 / 22,912,546,992

= 180.435

= 180 ( nearest whole number)

Write an algebraic rule to describe the translation c (5,-4) c'(-2,1)
Sauron [17]
We can solve this by using the formula:
(x, y) (x + a, y + b) = (5,-4) (-2,1)

So, plugging in the values and solving for a and b,
5 + a = -2
a = -8

-4 + b = 1
b = 5

Therefore, the translation is
(x,y) (x - 8, y +5)

Which is an ordered pair on the line 2.5,14 2.25,12 1.25,5 1.5,9
Savatey [412]
I would think that all but one point would be on the line.  One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation.  Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses:  (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
                                                               14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is   m = ----------------  =  2/0.25 = 8
                                                              2.50-2.25

What is the eqn of the line:     y = mx + b becomes

                                               14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:

14-20 = b = -6.  Then,   y = 8x - 6.

Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.  

Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6?  Is 1.25 = 90?  No.  So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).

Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
