2x + y = 20
-5y = -6x + 12
To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.
Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:
2x + y = 20 Subtract 2x on both sides
y = 20 - 2x
-5y = -6x + 12 (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)
-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12 Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)
-100 + 10x = -6x +12 Add 100 on both sides
10x = -6x + 112 Add 6x on both sides
16x = 112 Divide 16 on both sides
x = 7
Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:
2x + y = 20
2(7) + y = 20
14 + y = 20 Subtract 14 on both sides
y = 6
-5y = -6x + 12
-5y = -6(7) + 12
-5y = -42 + 12
-5y = -30 Divide -5 on both sides
y = 6
x = 7, y = 6
Answer:
2b + 3t = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
2b is the number of wheels on a bicycle
3t is the number of wheels on a tricycle
and 60 is the total number of wheels
You would divide 121 by 8.
121 / 8 = 15.125 So she did about 15 sit ups in a minute. Hope this helps!
On the 4th question I can’t tell if those are dots or arrows on the line above “AN” when it says “B lies on AN”, if those are 2 dots on the little line don’t check it, if they are 2 little arrows on the line then check the box, but other than that the rest of the checked are right!!
