Answer:

x=7

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use substitution you need to get one of the equations to have a variable by itself. I'm going to use the first one and get x by itself.

x-3y= 4  So firstly add the 3y to both sides since you want x alone.

 +3y  +3y

x=3y+4

Now that you have x alone you can plug this into the second equation for x.

4(3y+4)-2y=26

Next distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parenthesis.

4(3y)+4(4)-2y=26    Simplify.

12y+16-2y=26         Now add or subtract your like terms together (12y-2y).

10y+16=26              Next subtract 16 from both sides.

     -16  -16

10y=10                   Finally, to get y alone divide by 10 on both side.

y=1

To find x you plug y back into one of the equations you started with. I'm using x-3y=4  Again.

x-3(1)=4        Distribute the -3 to the one.

x-3=4           Now add 3 to both sides.

+3 +3

x=7

Top 1. Substitute 3y on both sides of the equation.
Bottom 2. Substitute 2y on both sides of the equation

3y and 2y cancel

Divide x by 4 and 26 by 4.

Is there die points on a graph or decimal?

I have not done this for years but there is many calculators that can show you step by step online. I recommend using these

Solve the system substitution y= 4x + 1 and 3x+2y =13
strojnjashka [21]

Given :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4x + 1 \: –––– \sf \:  (i)}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   3x + 2y = 13 \: –––– \sf \:  (ii)}

Now, Substituing the value of y in equation (ii) :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 2y = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 2(4x + 1) = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 3x + 8x + 2 = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x + 2 = 13   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x  = 13 - 2   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: 11x  = 11   }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \: x  =  \dfrac{11}{11}    }

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow   \bf \: x  = 1   }

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (i) :

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4x + 1}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4(1) + 1}

{\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow  y= 4 + 1}

{\qquad \bf \dashrightarrow  y= 5}

The average cost per unit C(x), in dollars, to produce x units of toy cars is given by C(x)=(8000)/(x−50)C(x)=(8000)/(x−50). Wha
podryga [215]
C(x)= \frac{8000}{x-50}

gives an average cost per unit, if we want to produce x of them.

So for example, we want to produce 500 toy cars for our store, and we need a price per unit (per 1 toy car). What we do is we calculate C(500). 

So to calculate the cost of one unit when producing 1250, we calculate C(1250)
 
C(1250)= \frac{8000}{1250-50}= \frac{8000}{1200}=6.67 $ is the cost of 1 toy car.
