J + p + m = 39
m = 4p ....m = 4(j - 3)....m = 4j - 12
p = j - 3

j + j - 3 + 4j - 12 = 39
6j - 15 = 39
6j = 39 + 15
6j = 54
j = 54/6
j = 9 <== justin

m = 4j - 12
m = 4(9) - 12
m = 36 - 12
m = 24 <=== matt

p = j - 3
p = 9 - 3
p = 6 <===peyton

3x+2y=23<br> 1/2x-4=y<br><br> What should I do for this one...? I dont really understand
Hitman42 [59]

Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......

Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.


3x+2(1/2x-4)=23\\

Distribute

3x+x-8=23

Combine like terms

4x-8=23

Add 8 to both sides

4x=31

Divide by 4

and x=31/4

Plug this value in for x

31/4*1/2-4=y

Simplify

31/8-4=y

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

31-32=8y\\-1=8y

Divide.....

y=-1/8


Your answers are:

y=-1/8\\x=31/4

Solve the system using substitution.<br> 2x = 5y + 14<br> x = 5y
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

<h2>y = 2.8</h2><h2>x = 14</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation, we can only have one variable. In this case, we are given the system 2x = 5y + 14. However, we are given the value of x in terms of y. We can substitute 10y in for 2x and solve.

10y = 5y + 14

First, we need to get all the variables on one side of the equation, so we subtract 5y.

5y = 14

Divide by 5

y = 14/5 or 2 4/5 or 2.8

Now for the x part.

2x = x + 14

Subtract 1x

x = 14

Now we check our answer.

2(14) = 5(2.8) + 14

28 = 14 + 14

28 = 28

Because 28 equals 28, our solutions are correct.
