Solving linear systems of substitution

Mathematics

Example: 2x+2y=8 and 3y+2x=6
Okay so u first want to put on of the equations into a y= form. So let's use 3y+2x=6. Subtract 2x from both sides. 3y=6-2x divide by 3. Y= 6-2/3x or y= -2/3x + 6. Now just plug this new equation in for Y since "y=" into the other equation.
2x + 2(-2/3x + 6) = 8.
Then you would distribute the 2 into the parenthesis and simplify to solve for x.
After you solve for x, plug x into one of the original equations to find y.

8_murik_8 [283]
Part A

The expression "ma" is the same as "m*a" (m times a). To isolate 'a', we divide both sides by m. Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. Think of it as undoing multiplication

F = ma
F = m*a
F/m = m*a/m
F/m = a
a = F/m

Answer: a = F/m
Note: the slash "/" without quotes means "divide"

===========================================
Part B

Use the result from part A. We will plug F = -24 and m = 10 into that equation

a = F/m
a = -24/10
a = -2.4

Answer: -2.4

===========================================
Part C

We will use the equation F = m*a

F = m*a
24 = m*12 ... plug in F = 24 and a = 12
24/12 = m*12/12
2 = m
m = 2

Answer: 2

X − 3 − 2(6 − 2x) = 2(2x − 5)
Finger [1]

Multiply the first bracket by -2

Multiply the second bracket by 2

x-3-12+4x= 4x-10

- negative number times + positive number= - negative number

- negative number times -negative number = + positive number

x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10

5x-15= 4x-10

Move 4x to the other side

5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10

x-15= -10

Move -15 to the other side

x-15+15= -10+15

x= 5

Answer : x= 5

<h2>Solution :- </h2>

Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :

• 2x - 12 = -8

Further solving

→ 2x = -8 + 12

→ 2x = 4 .

→ x = 2
