If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, we need to write one of the equation to an <span>expression equivalent to y. Let us say the second equation, we write it as follows:
</span><span>6x – 3y = –3
-3y = -6x - 3
y = 2x + 1
We substitute the equation to the first given equation as follows:
</span><span>2x – 5y = –3
</span>2x – 5(2x + 1) = –3
2x - 10x - 5 = -3
-8x = 2
x = -1/4
y = 2(-1/4) + 1 = 1/2
Here is the correct answer, and explanation for how to get the answer, and a way to remember how to use them for next time :)
The best way too solve it is to cross multiply. When you get the answer tell me and I’ll check it
Let x be the number of weeks for this financial situation. The amount that Katherine will have at the end of x weeks is 140 + 6x. On the other hand, with the spending that she is doing, Abbie will have 462 - 10x after x weeks. Equating the two,
140 + 6x = 462 - 10x
Thus, the answer is letter B.
