The given equations are:
5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y = 58
Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:
10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58
Adding the two equations, we get:
10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x = 18
Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:
5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1
So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)
4(x+2)=3(x-2)
Multiply the first bracket by 4
Multiply the second bracket by 3
4x+8=3x-6
Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)
4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
x+8=-6
Move positive 8 to the right hand side
x+8-8=-6-8
x=-14
Check answer by using substitution method
Use x=-14 into both of the equations
4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)
-56+8=-42-6
-48=-48
Answer is -14- D)
Answer:
10 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Every 1 yard is 3 feet, the cloth is 30 feet
30 ÷ 3 = 10
The cloth is 10 yards.
