What is 5y-4x =-7 2y+4x=14 X=? Y=?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

X=3

Y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving simultaneous equations, there are three methods, we have the elimination method, substitution method or graphical method. But for the purpose of this question, we would be using Elimination method.

5y-4x =-7 Equation 1

2y+4x=14 Equation 2

Since x has the same coefficient, it's easy to eliminate by adding up the two equations

5y+2y=7y

-4x+(+4x)=0

-7+(+14)=7

We have 7y=7

Divide both sides by 7,

y=7/7

y=1

Substituting for y in equation 2.

2(1)+4x=14

2+4x=14

4x=14-2

4x=12

x=12/4

x= 3

Which of the following shows the factors of 5x2 + 17x + 6? A. (5x + 1)(x + 6) B. (5x + 2)(x + 3) C. (5x + 3)(x + 2) D. (5x + 6)(
zysi [14]

Answer:

B. (x+3)(5x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic trinomial is;

5x^2+17x+6

Comparing this to ax^2+bx+c, we have a=5,b=17,c=6.

ac=5\times6=30

Two factors of 30 that add up to 17 is 15  and 2.

We split the middle term to obtain;

5x^2+15x+2x+6

We factor by grouping;

5x(x+3)+2(x+3)

Factor further

(x+3)(5x+2)

The correct answer is B.

The sum of four<br>consecutive odd number is 8o. Find the number​
yarga [219]

Answer:

<em>The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 80</em>

<em>Let X be the first of these numbers</em>

<em>Then the next odd number is X+2</em>

<em>The third is X+4The fourth is X+6</em>

<em>All of these add up to 80</em>

<em>(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 80</em>

<em>Using the commutative and associative laws, let's transform this equation into</em>

<em>(X + X + X + X) + (2 + 4 + 6) = 804X + 12 = 80</em>

<em>Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation gives4X = 68</em>

<em>Divide both sides by 4 gives</em>

<em>X = 17</em>

<em>Going back to the original question:What are the 4 consecutive odd numbers: 17, 19, 21, 23Checking our answer:17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 80 Correct!</em>
