Solve the system using substitution.

Mathematics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: x = 7, y = -3, z = 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

EQ 1:    3x + 4y - z      =        8     <em>solve for z</em>

            <u>             +z  -8 </u>    <u>+z - 8 </u>

            3x + 4y - 8      =  z

EQ 3:   5x + y - 2z = 30      <em>substitute 3x + 4y - 8 for z and solve for x</em>

           5x + y - 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 30

           5x + y  - 6x - 8y + 16 = 30

                          -x - 7y + 16 = 30

                         <u>              -16 </u>  <u>-16 </u>

                         -x - 7y         = 14

                       <u>       +7y       </u>    <u>+7y  </u>  

                        -x                = 7y + 14

                         x                = -7y - 14

EQ 2:   x - 5y + 2z = 24    <em>substitute 3x+4y - 8 for z and -7y - 14 for x</em>

           (-7y - 14) - 5y + 2(3x + 4y - 8) = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y + 6(-7y - 14) + 8y - 16 = 24

             -7y - 14 - 5y  - 42y - 84 + 8y - 16 = 24

                           -46y - 114 =  24

                            <u>        +114 </u>  <u>+114 </u>

                               -46y      = 138

                              <u>÷-46       </u>  <u>÷-46 </u>

                                     y    =  -3

x = -7y - 14

  = -7(-3) - 14

  = 21 - 14

  = 7

z = 3x + 4y - 8

  = 3(7) + 4(-3) - 8

  = 21 - 12 - 8

  = 1

Michael is 5 years old than rui feng and. Vishal is thrice as old as micheal if rui feng is 3 years old find Michael present age
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a) Micheal's present age = 8 years old

b) The sum of their ages in 6 years time = 63 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we know that

Rui feng is 3 years old

We are told that

• Michael is 5 years old than Rui feng

Micheal's present age is calculated as:

= 5 + Rui feng's age

= 5 + 3 = 8 years

• Vishal is thrice as old as Micheal

Vishal's present age is calculated as

= 3(Micheal age)

= 3(8)

= 24 years.

The sum of their ages in six years time

= ( 3 + 6) +( 8 + 6) + ( 24 + 6)

= 18 + 15 + 30

= 63 years

Therefore, a) Micheal's present age = 8 years old

b) The sum of their ages in 6 years time = 63 years.

goldfiish [28.3K]
The area of a triangle is taken by multiplying the length of the base times the height then dividing by 2.
l = 14cm
h = 8cm
A = \frac{l * h}{2}
A = \frac{14 * 8}{2}
A = \frac{112}{2}
A = 56 cm^{2}

A coin is tossed and a spinner numbered 1 to 7 is spun. What is the probability of getting an odd number and heads
Vikki [24]
Your answer is 4/14 or 2/7. There are two possibilities when you flip a coin, heads or tails. Then for the spinner there are 7. Multiply them by each other to get the total number of outcomes of the situation of 14. Then there are only 4 odd numbers from 1-7. This means that you would only be able to get an odd number and heads 4 times.

Hope this helped!
