Solve the Equation <br> 2x-3=14<br> -x+3y=-6

andriy [413]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lost "y" in the first equation.

$\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=14\\-x+3y=-6\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\\\.\qquad x=8\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(8)-3y=14\\16-3y=14\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\-3y=-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\boxed{x=8,\ y=\dfrac{2}{3}}$

If first equation is correct.

$2x-3=14\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2x=17\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x=8.5\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\-8.5+3y=-6\qquad\text{add 8.5 to both sides}\\3y=2.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\y=\dfrac{2.5}{3}\\y=\dfrac{25}{30}\\y=\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=8.5,\ y=\dfrac{5}{6}}$

1. Jane saved up 20 coins, all nickels and

kompoz [17]

Answer:

10 nickels and 10 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of coins: 20

Vaiue of coins = $3.00

Required

Number of Nickels and Quarters;

<em>Let N =Nickels and Q =Quarters</em>

The total coins is represented as:

$N + Q = 20$

1 nickel is equivalent to $0.05 and 1 quarter is equivalent to $0.25; So

$0.05N + 0.25Q = 3$

Make N the subject of formula in the first equation

$N = 20 - Q$

Substitute this in the second equation

$0.05(20 - Q) + 0.25Q = 3$

$1 - 0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3$

Collect like terms

$-0.05Q + 0.25Q = 3 - 1$

$0.2Q = 2$

Multiply both sides by 5

$5 * 0.2Q = 2 * 5$

$Q = 10$

Recall that N = 20 - Q

$N = 20 - 10$

$N = 10$

Which would be an equivalent way to write y= 2 - 3x ?

Fudgin [204]

The answer is B, because the numbers in the equation are 2, and -3x. The signs have to stay with the numbers they are with. So if you move the 3 to the front you have to keep the negative with it.
