How to do substitution or elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
8 0
I: y=(1/2)x+5
II: y=(-3/2)x-7

substitution:
fancy word for insert the definition of one variable in one equation into the other
-> isolate a variable, luckily y is isolated (even in both equations) already
-> substitute y of II into I (=copy right side of II and replace y in I with it):

(-3/2)x-7=(1/2)x+5
-3x-14=x+10
-3x-24=x
-24=4x
-6=x

-> insert x back into I (or II):
y=(1/2)x+5
=(1/2)*(-6)+5
=-3+5=2

elimination: subtract one equation from the other to eliminate a variable, again y is already isolated->no extra work required

I-II:
y-y=(1/2)x+5-[(-3/2)x-7]
0=(1/2)x+5+(3/2)x+7
0=(4/2)x+12
-12=2x
-6=x

-> insert x back into I (or II):
y=(1/2)x+5
=(1/2)*(-6)+5
=-3+5=2

Find the circumference with the given radius.round to the nerest tenth.use 3.14 π r = 7cm​
brilliants [131]

Answer:

44.0 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is

C=2\pi r

So we can substitute 7 for r and 3.14 for pi:

C=2(3.14)(7)=43.96 cm

And since we're rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer is 44.0 cm.

9 times a number has 1 subtracted from it. The result is trebled. The answer is the same if you add 7 to twice the number and mu
Natali [406]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: 1) You need to first understand the question and a way to do that is to list plainly the information given.

2) Let the number be (X)

3) For the equation from the first sentence given; 3(9x-1)

4) From the second sentence; 7(7+2x)

5) Equating both sentences together, since the question says they are the same 3(9x-1) = 7(7+2x)

6) Opening the bracket/expanding the equation.... 27x-3=49+14x

Solving further we will have 13x = 52

X= 52/13

= 4
