Solve the equation 3x-1/2y=2

Mathematics
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a second equation relating x and y, we can solve 3x - 1/2y = 2 ONLY for x in terms of y or for y in terms of x:

x in terms of y:    Multiply all three terms of 3x - 1/2y = 2 by 2, to eliminate the fraction:  6x - y = 4.  Now add y to both sides to isolate 6x:  6x = 4 + y.

Last, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:

x = (4 + y)/6

y in terms of x:    

y = 6x - 4

If you want a numerical solution, please provide another equation in x and y and solve the resulting system.

Y = -2x + 13 when x = 6
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: 1

Work: After plugging in the 6 in the X, the new equation is -2(6) + 13. After doing the multiplication of -2 and 6, you get -12. Add -12 + 13, and the answer (Or y) equals 1.

<em>I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)</em>

Fill in the missing statement and reason in the proof of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent;

Transitive Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angles theorem is about the angles that are opposite to each other. These angles are formed when two lines cross each other

Vertical angles are congruent i.e their measures are equal

Look at the attached graph

Given:

AB // CD

E , G , H , F are col-linear

The line which contains points E , G , H , F is a transversal for the parallel lines AB and CD

∵ AB and EF intersected at point G

∴ m∠EGB = m∠AGF ⇒ by the vertical angles theorem

When lines AB and EF intersected at G they formed opposite angles like angles EGB and AGF, then angles EGB and AGF are congruent (  vertical angle theorem)

∵ AB // CD and EF is a transversal

∴ m∠AGF = m∠CHF (corresponding angles theorem)

Transitive Property of Equality:  if one angle is equal to two other angles, then the two other angles are equal

 Therefore, If a = b and b = c, then a = c

∵ m∠EGB = m∠AGF

∵ m∠AGF = m∠CHF

∴ m∠EGB = m∠CHF (transitive property theorem)

 ∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent; Transitive Property of Equality

An electrician cuts a 136 ft long piece of cable. One piece is 16 feet less than 3 times the length of the other piece. Find the
Romashka [77]
X + y = 136
x = 3y - 16

3y - 16 + y = 136
4y - 16 = 136
4y = 136 + 16
4y = 152
y = 152/4
y = 38

x = 3y - 16
x = 3(38) - 16
x = 114 - 16
x = 98

the larger piece (x) = 98 ft and the smaller piece (y) = 38 ft
