Answer:

<h2>The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.

x + 4 y = 14............ 1 * 3

3 x + 2 y = 12 ............ 2  * 1

Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.

3x + 12 y = 42.

3 x + 2 y = 12

Taking the diffrence;

12-2y =42 - 12

10y = 30

y = 3

From equation 1, x = 14-4y

x = 14-4(3)

x = 14-12

x = 2

It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily <u>because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 </u>as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.

Can someone please explain how to do these?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

<u>First question answer:</u> The limit is 69

<u>Second question answer:</u> The limit is 5


Step-by-step explanation:

For the first limit, plug in x=8 in the expression (9x-3), that's the answer for linear equations and limits.

So we have:

9x-3\\9(8)-3\\72-3\\69

The answer is 69


For the second limit, if we do same thing as the first, we will get division by 0. Also indeterminate form, 0 divided by 0. Thus we would think that the limit does not exist. But if we do some algebra, we can easily simplify it and thus plug in the value x=1 into the simplified expression to get the correct answer. Shown below:

\frac{x^2+8x-9}{x^2-1}\\\frac{(x+9)(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)}\\\frac{x+9}{x+1}

<em>Now putting 1 in x gives us the limit:</em>

\frac{x+9}{x+1}\\\frac{1+9}{1+1}=\frac{10}{2}=5

So the answer is 5

Mr.Joshi gave 1/3 of his money to his son, 1/5 of it to charity and the remaining to his wife who got Rs.42,000. What was the to
tatyana61 [14]

The son gets 1/3 of 42,000, so you divide 42,000 by 3 and get the amount Mr. Joshi gave to his son. Then you do the same for charity, but instead divide 42,000 by 5. Then you add both values and subtract them from 42,000, and then you have what he gave to his wife.

x (amount wife got) = 42,000 - [(42,000/3) + (42,000/5]

x = 42,000 - [14000+8400]

x = 42,000 - 22,400

x = 19,600

Hope this helps!
