How do you solve by substitution in algebra?

1 answer:

7 0

Ok so lets say we have a system of equations:

y = x + 1
x + y = 5

All you would do is plug in what is equal to the variable so:

x + x + 1 = 5

Then you would just simplify and solve

2x + 1 = 5
-1 -1
_________

2x = 4
-- --
2 2

x=2

The sum of a number and four is less than twelve

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Some answers would be 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Not all numbers will be less than twelve.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I added the number to 4 that would equal twelve. Then, I just started using numbers below it. If this is a true or false, this would be false because if you added any number (let's say 12) to 4, you might get more than 12. Although, every number in the negatives would work as well, because they didn't state that the absolute value of the number plus 4 is less than 12. Hope it is right!

a young hockey player on frictionless ice shoots a 1 kg hockey puck 150 m/s toward the goal. of the hockey player slides backwar

Dafna11 [192]

By conservation of linear amount of movement we have:
m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
Where,
v1i = v2i = 0 (assuming initial rest)
m1v1f + m2v2f = 0
Substituting the values:
m1 (-3) + (1) (150) = 0
Clearing m1:
m1 = (- (1) * (150)) / (- 3)
m1 = 50 Kg
answer:
his mass is 50 Kg

How would you solve (-1,4),y=3x+5

astraxan [27]

Answer:

y = 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 times 4 equals -4 so you have -4,y = 3x + 5 so you do 5 + 3 so it is 8x then you have -4,y = 8x so you add 4 to each side and it becomes y = 12x
