x - y = 35
x = 6y
Plug 6y in for x in the first equation.
6y - y = 35
5y = 35
Divide both sides by 5
y = 7
x = 6y
x = 6(7) = 42
42 and 7
Letter C
Since we had the answers we could have just tried the answers but you will not always have multiple choice so this is the method for solving.
4/5 is the slope. When you isolate the y on one side of a linear equation, whatever number is with the x value is your slope.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the ages of a Mother and her son is 78 , three years ago the mother is five times as old as the son, what is their present ages?
To solve this , let the age of the mother be x and the age of the son be y , from the first statement :
x + y = 78
Three years ago , the mother will be x- 3 and the son will be y - 3 , from the second statement:
x - 3 = 5 ( y-3)
x- 3 = 5y - 15
x - 5y = -12
The resulting equations are
x + y = 78
x - 5y = -12
This is called a simultaneous linear equation , that means it is a linear equation.
The side of a square is xcm , if the difference between the area and the perimeter is 12 , find the legth of its side.
Interpretation:
The formula for the area of a square is
and the perimeter is 4l , from the question , we have
- 4x = 12
This is not a linear equation , it is simply a quadratic equation , so the situation is non linear
2(4x-3)-7(x+1) first distribute
8x-6-7x+7 then combine the x's
<u>x+13 </u>
