Solve the linear equation 31x + 29y = 33 29x + 31y = 27

Mathematics

Temka [501]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the coefficient of x the same

Multiply the first equation by 29

31x + 29y = 33 becomes

899x + 841y = 957

Multiply the second equation by 31

29x + 31y = 27 becomes

899x + 961y = 837

Subtract the equations

(899x + 841y) - (899x + 961y) = 957 - 837

(899x - 899x) + (841y - 961y) = 120

841y - 961y = 120

-120y = 120

y = 120/-120 = -1

Substitute the value of y into both equations to find the value of x and check its right.

31x + 29y = 33

31x + 29(-1) = 33

31x - 29 = 33

31x = 33 + 29

31x = 62

x = 62/31 = 2

29x + 31y = 27

29x + 31(-1) = 27

29x - 31 = 27

29x = 27 + 31

29x = 58

x = 58/29 = 2

Solve the following system using the SUBSTITUTION method.<br> x - 3y = 2<br> 2x - 6y = 6
notka56 [123]

ANSWER:

  • x – 3y = 2 ...(1)
  • 2x – 6y = 6 ...(2)

On solving eq(1), we get

  • x – 2 = 3y
  • x – 2/3 = y

Plug the value of x in eq(2)

  • 2x – 6(x - 2/3) = 6
  • 2x – 2(x – 2) = 6
  • 2x – 2x + 4 = 6
  • 0 = 6 – 4
  • 0 ≠ 2

So, given system of equations is not correct.

Use the distributive property to find an expression that is equivalent to <br> 2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)
zaharov [31]

Given expression:

     2x(x + 7)-(3x +1);

To distribute implies to spread a process equally in an expression. Often times, the distributive property is used for expressions inside parentheses;

  2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)  

  Distribute 2x over the first parentheses;

   the negative sign distributes over the second part

    = (2x² + 14x)  - 3x -1

    = 2x² + 14x -3x -1

    Add like terms;

    = 2x² + 11x -1

This expression  2x² + 11x -1 is equal to the given one

What is the missing value of 5x-2y=30 (8,)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In this equation, we can start by understanding that "x" has a value of 8, as given in the ordered pair. When multiplied by 5, this leads to "40 - 2y = 30". Next, we can subtract 40 from both sides of the equation. This leads us to a value of "-2y = -10". The next step would be to divide both sides by -2 as a way of isolating "y", which leads us to a final value of "y = 5". The final ordered pair would be (8,5).
