Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

Vikki [24]
Independent variables are things that can stand alone. Which set of these variables does not rely on each other?  For example the income and savings. I want 1,000,000 in my savings account, however my income is not nearly that high since I only make 19,000. Look at the other pairs and see if there is a correlation between them.

Solve the equation.<br> 4x – 2 = -3x2 + 3x<br> x = [ ? ],
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x =  - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2 =  - 3 \times 2 + 3x

Calculate the product:

4x - 2 =  - 6 + 3x

Rearrange the terms:

4x - 3x =  - 6 + 2

Combine like terms:

x =  - 6 + 2

Calculate:

x =  - 4

The perimeter of a rectangular plot is 300 m. Its width is 52 m.<br> What is its area?
madreJ [45]
5’096 m
If one side of the rectangle is 52m then you can assume that both sides would equal 104m. That leaves the other 2 sides to equal 196, and that means that one of the other sides would equal 98. The equation to find area is length x hight, so you’re gonna do 52 x 98 giving you 5’096. :) hope that helps!!
