Solve the Equation 3x+2y=17 -2x-y=-12

Mathematics

Answer:

(7,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=17

-2x-y=-12

Multiply the second equation by 2 so we can eliminate y

2( -2x-y=-12)   becomes -4x-2y = -24

Add this to the first equation

3x+2y=17

-4x-2y=-24

----------------

-x = -7

Multiply each side by -1

x = 7

Substitute back into the first equation to find y

3(7) +2y = 17

21 +2y = 17

Subtract 21 from each side

21-21 +2y = 17-21

2y = -4

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = -4/2

y =-2

(7,-2)

Answer:

<h2>x = 7, y = -2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+2y=17&(1)\\-2x-y=-12&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(2)\\-2x-y=-12\qquad\text{add 2x to both sides}\\-y=2x-12\qquad\text{change the signs}\\y=-2x+12\qquad\text{substitute it to (1):}\\\\3x+2(-2x+12)=17\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\3x+(2)(-2x)+(2)(12)=17\\3x-4x+24=17\qquad\text{subtract 24 from both sides}\\-x=-7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\boxed{x=7}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to (2):}\\\\y=-2(7)+12\\y=-14+12\\\boxed{y=-2}

charle [14.2K]

Answer: 208

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 3536 is called the numerator or dividend, and the number 17 is called the denominator or divisor.

The quotient of 3536 and 17, the ratio of 3536 and 17, as well as the fraction of 3536 and 17 all mean (almost) the same:

3536 divided by 17, often written as 3536/17 = 208
