What is the best method to solve the system of equations? 2x + 3y = 8 4x - 6y = 2?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: x = 9/4, y = 7/6

║2x + 3y = 8
║4x - 6y = 2

║4x + 6y = 16
║4x - 6y = 2

Add both equations together:

8x = 18
x = 9/4

Sub x = 9/4 into 2x + 3y = 8
2(9/4) + 3y = 8
9/2 + 3y = 8
3y = 7/2
y = 7/6

A kayaker can paddle 12 mi in 2 h moving with the river current. Paddling at the same pace, the trip back against takes 4 h. Ass

Firdavs [7]

Downstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 2 hours
rate = 12/2 = 6 mph
----------------
Upstream DATA:
distance = 12 miles
time = 4 hrs
rate = 12/4 = 3 mph
----
Equations:
Downstream: b + c = 6
Upstream::: b - c = 3
------
Add to get:
2b = 9
b = 4.5 mph (speed of the boat in still water.)
-----
Solve for "c":
b + c = 6
4.5 + c = 6
c = 1.5 mph (speed of the current)
The answer is 1.5 mph
