There should be another equation in order to solve this problem using simultaneous equations.

Otherwise, there will be more than one solution to this problem as there are different combinations of values for ( x ) & ( y ) which can be given.

For example, one answer could be:

x = 2

y = - 1 / 2

So if we substitute the values into the equation it would be as follows:

5x + 4y = 8

5 ( 2 ) + 4 ( - 1 / 2 ) = 8

10 + - 2 = 8

10 - 2 = 8

8 = 8

Another answer could be:

x = 4

y = - 3

So if we substitute the values into the equation it would be as follows:

5x + 4y = 8

5 ( 4 ) + 4 ( - 3 ) = 8

20 + - 12 = 8

20 - 12 = 8

8 = 8

As you can see, there are more than one solution for this equation. So unless the problem is asking you to just give one of various solutions and isn't asking for one definitive solution, then you will require another equation in order to solve this problem.

1 ) Find the volume of a cylinder with diameter 22 in and height 15 in.
OverLord2011 [107]
1. The volume of the cylinder is calculated through the equation, V = πr²h. Substituting the known values,
                 V = π(22 in/2)²(15 in) = 1815π in³ = 5701.99 in²
2. The answer to this item is letter "C. area of the base x height".
3. The volume of the prism is 5 x 5 x 10 cm or equal to 250 cm³.

One-fourth of the sum of 6 and 2 times c exceeds 3.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
1/4(6 + 2c) > 3
0.25 (6+ 2c) > 3
1.5 + 0.5c > 3
0.5c > 1.5
c > 3

Or multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the 1/4,
6 + 2c > 12
2c > 6
c >3
