Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x−
5
5
=3
4x+−1=3
4x−1=3
Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.
4x−1+1=3+1
4x=4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.
4x

x=1
Answer:
parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve both equations for y to make it easier to compare them.
2x - 5y = 0 ↔ 5y = 2x, or y = (5/2)x.
y = (5/2)x - 3
Since the slopes are the same, the two lines are parallel.
We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.
3x - 4y = 1
-2x + 3y = 1
To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second.
9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4
Adding,
x = 7
We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:
2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)
y = 5
Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good. -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.
Q18 Answer: (7,5)
y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3
4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)
5x = -12x + 20 -3
17 x = 17
x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good
Q19 Answer (1,2)
6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good 2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good
Q20 Answer (10,-7)
3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6
Check: 3(4)+6=18 good, -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good
Q21 Answer: (4,6)
Answer:
Tip: $8
Total:$48
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 40 by 20% to find out how much money he gave for tip.
Add the amount of tip, 8, to $40 find out the total amount of money he spent.
