Substitute 3x+y=4 5x-y=22

Mathematics

Mrac [35]3 years ago

Simultaneous Equations

3x + y = 4
5x  - y = 22
The signs of the matching values aren't the same so we add the rest of the equations.
8x = 26
Divide both sides by 8 to get x = 3.25
Now substitute back into the first equation.
(3 x 3.25) + y = 4
9.75 + y = 4
Subtract 9.75 from both sides
y = -5.75

A bookshop is charged $15.40 for a particular book. The shopkeeper wishes to price the book such that his profit would be 30% of
ElenaW [278]
So first you start with finding 30%, and you do this by entering into a calculator 30 divided by 100 and then times it to the original book price. So:
30 divided by 100 x 15.40 = $4.62
So $4.62 is 30%, meaning all you have to do is take the original price of $15.40 and add the $4.62, so:
$15.40+$4.62= $20.02

The length of the base and the height of a triangle are numerically equal. Their sum is 6 less than the number of units in the a
Troyanec [42]
Base = Height, Let them be x.

( x \times x) \div 2 = (x + x) + 6 \\ x ^{2} \div 2 = 2x + 6 \\ \frac{1}{2} x^{2} - 2x - 6 = 0
Solve quadratic equation:
x=6, x=-2(rejected because base and height is positive)

|4x+8|&gt; 2<br> what is the answer
Nookie1986 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 8| > 2

Therefore 4x + 8 > 2 or 4x + 8 < -2.

When 4x + 8 > 2, 4x > -6, x > -1.5.

When 4x + 8 < -2, 4x < -10, x < -2.5.

Hence, x < -2.5 or x > -1.5.
