Solve the system of equations using elimination. 4x - 7y = 5 9x – 7y = –15

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to get one positive 7y so,

4x-7y=5

9x-7y=-15

multiply anyone of the equation by -1. I choose the first one so,

4x+7y=-5

9x-7y=-15

we can now cancel the y's so the equation will be left with

-4x=-5

9x=-15

add the equations

5x=-20

divide by 5 n u get

x=-4

now plug in the x value in any one of the

equations

I choose the first one so,

4(-4)-7y=5

-16-7y=5

add 16 to both sides

-7y=21

divide by -7

y=-3.

finally check.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers they rode in the 3 bike trips they took last month. In order, they rode 45.7, 4
Archy [21]

Answer:

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam's calculation:

45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 × 0.621 = 77.38 kilometers.

Bruno's calculation:

45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 divided by 0.621 = 200.64 kilometers.

1 kilometer = 0.621 miles.

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide

We will divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller units

Solve for x<br><br> 2x - 1 - 1 = x - 3 - ( -5 + x )
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

4

2

x=2
