What is the solution (using substitution) of the following equations? 2x+y=20 6x-5y=12

Y has a coefficient of 1 in the first equation, so it is easiest to use that one to write an expression for y.

... y = 20 - 2x . . . . . subtract 2x

Now, this expression can be substituted for y in the second equation.

6x-5(20-2x)=12\qquad\text{substituted for y}\\6x-100+10x=12\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\16x=112\qquad\text{add 100}\\\\x=\dfrac{112}{16}=7\qquad\text{divide by the x-coefficient}

Then, using the expression for y, we find its value

... y = 20 -2·7 = 6

The solution of the equations is (x, y) = (7, 6).

I dunno how to solve this

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

First off you need to find the interval that four falls in.  

Four is not less than three so you can rule out the first one, four is not greater than 10 so you can rule out the last one.  But four is greater than three and less than ten, so it falls in the second interval.

So, now you can substitute four in for x for the second equation

4^2-7

16-7

=9

Factor -1/3 out of -1/3x-8

Multiply the x part by -3 to cancel out the fraction, so the final answer will be x + 24. You could also multiply by 3 then divide by -1 to change the signs
