Because 4x2 = 8, so 4x7=28, then you times 28 by 2 which equals 56 and 8x7=56
Answer:
x=5
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
The substitution method is considered easier because of its simplification.
2x-3y=7 (1)
x+2y=7 (2)
considering equation (2),
x = 7 - 2y (3)
using the value of "x" in (1)
2 (7-2y) - 3y=7
14 - 4y- 3y = 7
14 - 7y = 7
7y = 14 - 7
7y = 7
y = 1 (4)
substituting this value of "y" in (3)
x = 7- 2(1)
x = 5
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
40% of (times) X
4/10 of (times) X or 2/5 or .4
145 (times) .4 which is 58
