6x + 5y = 147 8x + 4y = 156

Mathematics
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

[12, 15]

Step-by-step explanation:

{6x + 5y = 147

{8x + 4y = 156

-¾[8x + 4y = 156]

{6x + 5y = 147

{-6x - 3y = -117 ← New Equation

________________

2y = 30

___ ___

2 2

y = 15 [Plug this back into both equations to get the x-coordinate of 12]; 12 = x

So, using the Elimination Method, what I did here was took the bottom equation and multiplied it by -¾, turning 8x to -6x, canceling out all <em>x-terms</em><em>.</em><em> </em>It does not matter which variable you choose to eliminate, as long as you know what you are doing.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

In the stock market an amazon stock share rose 4 and 1/2 points on Wednesday rose 3 and 3/8 points on Thursday and fell 2 and 1/
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

In the three days the Amazon stock share rose by  5\frac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amazon stock share

rose 4 and 1/2 points on Wednesday

rose 3 and 3/8 points on Thursday

fell 2 and 1/4 points on Friday

To find the overall change.

Solution:

<em>The change in share on Wednesday is given as = +4\frac{1}{2}</em>

<em>The change in share on Thursday is given as = +3\frac{3}{8}</em>

<em>The change in share on Friday is given as = -2\frac{1}{4}</em>

Thus, the over all change is given by:

4\frac{1}{2}+3\frac{3}{8}-2\frac{1}{4}

<em>In order to combine mixed numbers, we will work the whole numbers and the fractions separately.</em>

⇒ (4+3-2)+(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{4})

⇒ 5+(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{4})

To combine fractions, we will take least common denominator.

<em>The L.C.D. 2,4 and 8 = 8  as it is the least common multiple for all the denominators</em>

So, we multiply the numerators with the corresponding numbers to make the denominators common.

⇒ 5+(\frac{1\times 4}{2\times 4}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1\times 2}{4\times 2})

⇒ 5+(\frac{4}{8}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{8})

Combining the numerators.

⇒ 5+\frac{4+3-2}{8}

⇒  5+\frac{5}{8}

⇒  5\frac{5}{8}

The overall change for the three days can be given as :  +5\frac{5}{8}

This means the share rose by  5\frac{5}{8}

 (23 x 2 -  5) • x 3

Step  2  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

  Factoring:  8 x 2-5  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =  

        A2 - B2

Answer:

(8 x 2 - 5) • x 3
