Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

16y^2-25=0\\\\METHOD\ 1:\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\16=4^2\ \text{and}\ 25=5^2\ \text{therefore we have}\\\\4^2y^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y)^2-5^2=0\\\\(4y-5)(4y+5)+0\iff4y-5=0\ \vee\ 4y+5=0\\\\4y-5=0\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\4y=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{4}}\\\\4y+5=0\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\4y=-5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{4}}

METHOD\ 2:\\\\16y^2-25=0\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\16y^2=25\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\y^2=\dfrac{25}{16}\to y=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{26}}\\\\y=-\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{16}}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{5}{4}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5}{4}}

Answer:

The value of y is 5/4 or -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

16y² - 25 = 0

This is a quadratic equation in y

16y² = 25  

(4y)² = 5²  

Taking square root on both the sides yields;

√(4y)² = √5²  

4y = ± 5

Dividing both sides by 4 yields; y =5/4 or y= -5/4

Solve this equation using elimination: 4x-y=8;6x+y=2
fomenos
Solve simultaneously.

4x - y = 8
6x + y = 2


Multiply top equation by 6, and bottom equation by 4, to eliminate x, so that we can find y.
~
24x - 6y = 48
24x - 4y = 8

Subtract top from bottom to form one equation.
~
-2y = 40
Therefore y is 20.

Put y back in to an equation, such as 4x - y = 8.
~
4x - 20 = 8
4x = 28
x = 7
