Answer:
x = 2.25 y = 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 9.5- 5
2x = 4.5
x = 4.5 ÷ 2
x = 2.25
know we now what is x so in the second one we evaluate x
3(2.25) + 5y = 10.5
6.75 + 5y = 10.5
5y = 10.5- 6.75
5y = 3.75
y = 3.75 ÷ 5
y = 0.75
that's it !
if you want to check your answer you can evaluate x and y so it will be like
2×2.25 + 5
= 4.5 + 5 = 9.5
and
3× 2.25 +5×0.75
= 6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5
13/3= 4.25 because.....
13-12 is 1.
SO:
When you have your problem set up, you have 4, and then a 1 left over. You turn it into a fraction.
Make 4 and 1/4, then put it as a mixed number, 4 1/4
or you can keep dividing by adding a decimal then zeroes and keep solving until you get 4.25 which is equivalent to 4 1/4
You can just 1) multiply the binomial by itself, or you can use 2) the square of a binomial pattern. I'll show it to you both ways.
1) Multiply the binomial by itself.
(3x - 2)^2 = (3x - 2)(3x - 2) =
Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial, then collect like terms. (This is often called using FOIL.)
= 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4
= 9x^2 - 12x + 4
2) Use the square of a binomial pattern
The square of a binomial is
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab - b^2
a^2 is the square of the first term.
b^2 is the square of the second term.
-2ab is the product of the two terms and 2.
You have
(3x - 2)^2,
where the first term is 3x, and the second term is -2
square the first term: 9x^2
square the last term: 4
the product of the terms and 2 is: -12x
Put it all together, and you get
9x^2 - 12x + 4
just like we got above with the other method.
$3,005.06 is the answer for the question
2/3x-40=5/6(x+36)
multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fraction
6* 2/3x- 6*40=6*5/6(x+36)
4x -240 = 5(x+36)
distribute
4x-240 = 5x +180
subtract 4x from each side
-240 = x +180
subtract 180 from each side
-420 =x
