Answer:
The larger of the two is 44.67
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number=x
let the second number=y
We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements
Their sum is 33:
x+y=33( call this equation 1)
Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:
x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)
Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it
For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2
(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35
y=-35/3
Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1
x+(-35/3)=33
x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)
3x-35=99
3x=99+35
3x=134
x=134/3
Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
the quickest way to do this would be to multiply 1,375 by 3 and then add 2.
1,375 * 3 = 4,125 + 2 = 4,127
correct!
Simplify the expression
It can be simplified as below:
To find if a point is a solution to a system of equations, we need to plug in the x and y values of the point into each equation, and see if the equation is true.
Let's plug it into the first equation first:
-2(3) - 4(-2) might = 2
-6 + 8 = 2
The first equation is true.
Now, we need to check the second equation:
3(3) + 4(-2) might =8
9 - 8 does not = 8
Therefore, even if the point satisfies one equation, it does not satisfy the other. We can conclude that this is not a solution.
Hope this helps!
