-2x + 5y = 8
2x + 2y = 6
----------------add
7y = 14
y = 14/7
y = 2

2x + 2y = 6
2x + 2(2) = 6
2x + 4 = 6
2x = 6 - 4
2x = 2
x = 2/2
x = 1

solution is (1,2)

Add the two equations to eliminate x:
-2x + 5y = 8
                     +
 2x + 2y = 6
                     =
7y = 14   so y = 2.
Sub y into an equation as 2, so if you take the 2nd equation you get:
2x + (2*2) = 6, so 2x = 2, x=1.

What’s the difference between evaluating an expression for a given value of a variable and solving an equation?
Talja [164]
The difference is that evaluating an expression for a given value is an example of let’s say In a example, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. So it means that they are giving you the input already. SOLVING an equation is working backwards, to undo everything that has been done to the input. So you have to do the equation in order to find your answer.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose a couple of values for x. Figure out the corresponding values for y. Plot those points and draw a line through them.

Let's choose x=0 and x=4. Then the corresponding y-values are ...

y = 2·0 = 0 . . . . . point (x, y) = (0, 0)

y = 2·4 = 8 . . . . . point (x, y) = (4, 8)

These are graphed below.

The length of a rectangular piece of land is 9 cm more than 3 times its width. The perimeter is 418 cm. Find its dimensions.
SashulF [63]

Let w represent the width of the rectangle in cm. Then its length in cm is (3w+9). The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, so is ...

... 418 = 2(w + (3w+9))

... 209 = 4w +9 . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms

... 200 = 4w . . . . . . . . subtract 9

... 50 = w . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

... length = 3w+9 = 3·50 +9 = 159

The dimensions of this piece of land are 159 cm by 50 cm.
