Solve the linear system of equations using the linear combination method

Mathematics
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -2

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the system the following way:

4x + 5y = 7

-3x +y  = 9

we need to eliminate one unknown by multiplying one equation for a suitable number in such a way that when we add the equations one unknown is eliminated.

If we multiply the second eq. by -5 the y is eliminated

4x + 5y = 7

15x -5y = -45

add the equations

19x = -38 ===> x = -38/19 ===> x = -2

Now replace this value in any equation to get y. For example, in 1st one.

4(-2) + 5y = 7 ===> -8 +5y = 7 ===> 5y = 7+8 ===> 5y = 15 ===> y = 15/5 ===>

y=3

The question that I'm having issues with is, "The complement of an angle, A, in degrees, is equal to one-sixth of the supplement
dolphi86 [110]
'Complement' = difference between an angle an 90 degrees.

'Supplement' = difference between an angle and 180 degrees.

Complement of A = 90 - A

Supplement of A = 180 - A

The problem says that the complement is 1/6 of the supplement, right ?

So    <u>  90 - A = (1/6) x (180 - A)</u>

Multiply each side of this equation by 6 :

540 - 6 A = 180 - A

Subtract 180 from each side:

360 - 6 A = - A

Add 6A to each side :

360 = 5 A

Divide each side by 5 :

<u>A = 72°</u>
