Answer:

x=4/5

y=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

X/y=4...(1)

1/x+1/y=1/xy...(2)

From (1) make x the subject of formula

x=4y...(3)

Substitute (3) into (2)

I/4y+1/y=1/4y^2

Let the LCM be 4y

1+4/4y=1/4y^2

Cross multiply

5(4y^2)=4y

20y^2=4y

Divide both sides by 4y

5y=1

Divide both sides by 5

y=1/5

Substitute y=1/5 into(3)

x=4(1/5)

x=4/5

4x + y = 3 -2x + 3y = -19 what's the solution plz help
Rainbow [258]

The solution to given system of equations is x = 2 and y = -5

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given the system of equations are:</u></em>

4x + y = 3 ---------- eqn 1

-2x + 3y = -19 ---------- eqn 2

We have to find the solution to above system of equations

<em><u>We can solve the system by substitution method</u></em>

From eqn 1,

4x + y = 3

Isolate y to one side

y = 3 - 4x ----------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

-2x + 3(3 - 4x) = -19

-2x + 9 - 12x = -19

Combine the like terms

-14x = -19 - 9

-14x = -28

Divide both sides of equation by -14

<h3>x = 2</h3>

<em><u>Substitute x = 2 in eqn 3</u></em>

y = 3 - 4(2)

y = 3 - 8

<h3>y = -5</h3>

Thus the solution is x = 2 and y = -5

Please help 21 points!!!!!
harina [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle y is 62°.

I solve this by

We know: Measures of interior angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

60° + 58° + y = 180°

118° + y = 180°         <em>subtract 118° from both sides</em>

118° - 118° + y = 180° - 118°

y = 62°

The measure of angle x is 122°.

I solve this by

Angles 58° and x are supplementary angles.

Supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

x + 58° = 180°            <em>subtract 58° from both sides</em>

x + 58° - 58° = 180° - 58°

x = 122°

In the supermarket a loaf of bread costs 37p how many loaves can david buy with a 2 coin ? How much money will be left over?
Rasek [7]

Answer: He can buy 5 loaves of bread.

After buying 5 loaves 15 p will be left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In the supermarket a loaf of bread costs 37p .

To find: How many loaves can David buy with a \pounds 2 coin?

Since \pounds 1=100\text{ pence}

Then, \pounds 2=200\text{ pence}

Number of loaves he can buy = (Amount he has) ÷ (Cost of a loaf of bread)

= 200 p ÷ 37 p

=5\dfrac{15}{37}

i.e. he can buy 5 loaves of bread and 15 p will be left.

Hence, He can buy 5 loaves of bread.

After buying 5 loaves 15 p will be left.

Solve for k 5/8(3k+1)-1/4(7k+2)=1
lesya [120]

Answer:

<h2>k = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{5}{8}(3k+1)-\dfrac{1}{4}(7k+2)=1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{5}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(3k+1)-8\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}(7k+2)=8\cdot1\\\\5(3k+1)-2(7k+2)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(5)(3k)+(5)(1)+(-2)(7k)+(-2)(2)=8\\\\15k+5-14k-4=8\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(15k-14k)+(5-4)=8\\\\k+1=8\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\k=7
