Step 1:
4y + x = 15
−9x + 5y = 20
Step 2: correct
4y + x = 15
x = 15 − 4y
Step 3: wrong
4y + x = 15
4y + (15 − 4y) = 15 wrong step
4y + 15 − 4y = 15
15 = 15
***once you have solved for a variable in one equation, you substitute it in the other equation
Corrected Step 3:
−9x + 5y = 20
-9(15 - 4y) + 5y= 20
(-9*15) + (-9*-4y) + 5y= 20
-135 + 36y + 5y= 20
-135 + 41y= 20
add 135 to both sides
41y= 155
divide both sides by 41
y= 155/41 or 3 32/41 or 3.78
ANSWER: The x value in step 2 should have been substituted in the opposite equation in step 3. The y solution would then be 155/41 or 3 32/41 or 3.78
Hope this helps! :) Would love to be marked brainliest.
A) 3
the reason is because $225 a night and $75 a day 75*2 is 175 so then you add 175+225 is 400 multiple it by 3 your answer is $1200 enjoy your answer
Answer:
c) 1
Step-by-step explanation:
=> ax+y = 5
<u><em>Putting x =2, y =3</em></u>
=> a(2)+3 = 5
=> 2a = 5-3
=> 2a = 2
<em>Dividing both sides by 2</em>
=> a = 1
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 
= 1
Multiply through by ab to clear the fractions
bx + ax = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)
x =
The answer is b. 2. It is 2, because -10 plus 4 is -6. Then -6 plus 8 is 2.
