The two equations can be solve using substitution method. 
<span>-3x + y = -11    .....................(1)
2X + 5y = 30    .....................(2)
</span>
From equation 1,
-3x + y = -11 
y=-11+3x
y=3x-11

Substitute the vale of y in equation 2 with y=3x-11,
2X + 5y = 30
2x + 5(3x-11) = 30
2x + 15x - 55 = 30
17x -55 = 30
17x = 30+55
17x = 85
x =85/17
   =  5

From the equation 1, 
 y=3x-11
Since  x = 5,

y = 3(5) - 11
  = 15 - 11
  = 4

Answer;
     x = 5
     y = 4

1) -3x + y= -11
2)2x + 5y = 30

Either both x or both y have to be equal
So 1) can be multiplied by 5 to get y to become 5y

Therefore 1) becomes 3) -15x + 5y = 30


So you do 2) - 3)

To get 17x=85
Divide both sides by 17 to get x=5



Then to get y sub 5 into 2x + 5y= 30


2*5 + 5y = 30

10 + 5y = 30

-10. -10

5y = 20

/5. /5


Y= 4




So you get that y=4 and x=5

Wale was twice as old as Ajay 10 years back. How old is Ajay today if Wale will be 40 years old 10. years hence?​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Ajay is 25 years old today.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable x: Wale's age.
  • Variable y: Ajay's age.

Wale was twice as old as Ajay 10 years back, hence:

x - 10 = 2(y - 10)

x - 10 = 2y - 20

x = 2y - 10

Wale will be 40 years old in 10 years, hence:

x + 10 = 40

x = 40

Then, Ajay's present age is found as follows.

2y = x + 10

2y = 40 + 10

y = \frac{50}{2}

y = 25

The Length of a standard jewel case is 7cm more than its width. The area of the rectangular top of the case is 408cm. Find the l
salantis [7]

Answer:

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Length of a standard jewel case is 7cm more than its width.

Let the length be represented by L and the width be represented by W, this means that:

L = 7 + W

The area of the rectangular top of the case is 408cm². The area od a rectangle is given as:

A = L * W

Since L = 7 + W:

A = (7 + W) * W = 7W + W²

The area is 408 cm², hence:

408 = 7W + W²

Solving this as a quadratic equation:

=> W² + 7W - 408 = 0

W² + 24W - 17W - 408 = 0

W(W + 24) - 17(W + 24) = 0

(W - 17) (W + 24) = 0

=> W = 17cm or -24 cm

Since width cannot be negative, the width of the case is 17 cm.

Hence, the length, L, is:

L = 7 + 17 = 24cm.

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.
