2x+5y=11 and 4x+3y=1 solve with elimination

1 answer:

7 0

Multiply you first equation by 2 to get 4x + 10y = 22
Now the x terms can be eliminated and cancelled out using elimination.
4x + 10y = 22
4x + 3y = 1

To eliminate you need to "subtract", so you need to multiply one of the equations by -1.

4x + 10y = 22
-4x -3y = -1
------------------
0 + 7y = 21
y = 3

Now plug 3 into either one of the equations to get x.

Susan bought some potted plants. Petunias cost $7 per pot and begonias cost $8 per pot. She bought 22 potted plants and spent a

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: she bought 13 petunias

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of Petunias pot of flowers that she bought.

Let y represent the number of begonias pot of flowers that she bought.

She bought 22 potted plants. This means that

x + y = 22

Petunias cost $7 per pot and begonias cost $8 per pot. She spent a total of $163. This means that

7x + 8y = 163 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 22 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(22 - y) + 8y = 163

154 - 7y + 8y = 163

- 7y + 8y = 163 - 154

y = 9

x = 22 - y = 22 - 9

x = 13

Henry is conducting an experiment with 800 bacteria. He found the exponential growth rate to be 2.7% per hour. What is the amoun

joja [24]

Let's formulate an equation first. For exponential growth, we follow the formula. b = 800, r - 0.027. Hence,

y = 800(1+0.027)^t

Then, at t = 21, y will be determined
y = 800 (1+0.027)^21
y = 1399.81 = 1400

Thus, the amount of bacteria present after 21 hours is 1400.
