x + y = 3
x =6 - 4y
Solution
Use the top equation to substitute for x in the second equation.
x = 3 - y
Put this result into the second given equation and solve for y
3 - y = 6 - 4y Add 4y to both sides.
3 - y + 4y = 6 Combine on the left
3 + 3y = 6 Subtract 3 from both sides
3 - 3 + 3y = 6 - 3 Combine
3y = 3 Divide by 3
3y/3 = 3/3 Combine
y = 1
=========================
x + y = 3 but y = 1
x + 1 = 3 Subtract 1 from both sides.
x + 1 - 1 =3 - 1
x = 2
Answer
x = 2
y = 1
Answer:
k = 575
Step-by-step explanation:
let d be distance and h time.
Given d varies directly as h then the equation relating them is
d = kh ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition d = 2875, h = 5, then
2875 = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )
k = 575
Compare them by making them like terms.
4/6 x2/2=8/12
4/6=8/12 so when compared to 4/12,
4/6 > 4-12
0.
The x on the bottom will cancel out the x on the top here.
