1/2x+1/3y=5 and 1/4x+y=10 solve this system by substitution

qaws [65]3 years ago

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the second equation to write an expression for y.

  y = 10 - 1/4x . . . . subtract 1/4x from the given 2nd equation

Now, substitute that for y in the first equation:

  1/2x + 1/3(10 -1/4x) = 5

  1/2x + 10/3 -1/12x = 5 . . . . eliminate parentheses

You can work this a couple of ways from here. One is to multiply by 12 to eliminate fractions. Another is to work with the numbers as they are. We'll do that, because we don't get enough practice doing arithmetic with fractions.

  5/12x = 5/3 . . . . . subtract 10/3

  x = (5/3)/(5/12) = 12/3 = 4

From above, we can use our expression for y:

  y = 10 - 1/4·4 = 9

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 9).

Find the value of x!!!!!
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

96 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The 144 degrees is on a straight line, meaning the angle next to it inside the triangle and 144 are supplementary. They add up to 180 degrees.

Coincidentally, the other two angles plus the third, unlabeled angle will add up to 180 degrees as well, meaning that the the 48+x = 144 degrees (according the property of equality, which is if a=b and b=c, then a=c). Solve for x from there:

x = 144-48

x = 96

Find the slope of (1,8) and (-1,-4)
aniked [119]

Answer: slope= 6

Slope intercept equation= y= 6x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1) > (-4-8) ÷ (-1-1) = -12/-2 or 6

Plug slope (-6) and one coordinate into point slope form: y-1=m (x-1)

where m is slope and (1,8) would be (x,y)

Y-8= 6(x-1) > y-8 = 5x -6 > y= 6x +2

The regular price of a baseball hat is $15.65. If Julio buys the baseball hat on sale for 20% off the regular price, how much ch
larisa [96]
Begin by multiplying $15.65 by 0.20 to find what 20% of the regular price is. This gives you 3.13, which in this situation means $3.13.
To find the price with discount subtract 15.65-3.13. This gives you $12.52.
To find out the change, subtract 20-12.52. This gives you $7.48.
So, he will receive $7.48 in change.
Hope this helps!

3x+4y-3z=4;5x-y+2z=3;x+2y-z=-2 Solving Systems in three variables​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:  x = 3, y = 1, z = 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

EQ 1:   x  -   y  - z = 0

EQ 3:<u> -x + 2y + z =  1 </u>

                  y       = 1

EQ 2: 2x - 3y + 2z = 7  →  1(2x - 3y + 2z = 7)  →  2x - 3y + 2z = 7

EQ 3:  -x + 2y +  z = 1   → -2( -x + 2y +  z = 1)  → <u>-2x + 4y + 2z = 2</u>

                                                                                      y + 4z = 9

                                                                    y = 1  ⇒     1  + 4z = 9

                                                                                            4z = 8

                                                                                              z = 2

Input y = 1 and z = 2 into one of the equations to solve for x:

EQ 1: x - y - z = 0

        x - (1) - (2) = 0

        x - 3 = 0

        x = 3

Check:

EQ 2: 2x - 3y + 2z = 7

         2(3) - 3(1) + 2(2) = 7

          6    -  3    +  4    = 7

                3        +  4    = 7

                               7   =  7   \checkmark
