Solve the system of equations 12x-5y=-20 y=x+4 x=_______ y=_______

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 0

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12x - 5y = -20

y = x + 4

Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation

12x - 5(x + 4) = -20

Expand the bracket

12x -5 X x - 5 x 4 = -20

12x - 5x - 20 = -20

7x - 20 = -20

Add 20 to both sides to eliminate -20 on the left side

7x - 20 + 20 = -20 + 20

7x = 0

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x

7x/7 = 0/7

x = 0

Substitute 0 for x in either equation to get y

Using equation 2, we have

y = x + 4

= 0 + 4

= 4

x = 0

y = 4

y+20

Step-by-step explanation

240=12x+8y

Step 1: Flip the equation.

12x+8y=240

Step 2: Add -8y to both sides.

12x+8y+−8y=240+−8y

12x=−8y+240

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

It is 2 miles from Ellie’s house to school, 1 mile = 5280 feet. How many feet is it from Ellie’s house to school ?
Lana71 [14]
This is a conversion problem. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet, right? Since Ellie lives 2 miles, and two is double of 1, we just take 5280 and multiply that by two (or add it twice) to find how many feet is between Ellie's house and school. 5280 x 2 = 10560 (you get the same answer if you add 5280 twice). Therefore, 10560 feet lies between Ellie's house and school.
