What values of x and y satisfy x − 3y = 4 and 2x + y = 7 simultaneously?

1 answer:

6 0

We have:

x - 3y = 4

Pass -3y to the second member of equation

x = 4 + 3y

Now replace on the other equation tge value of x

2x + y = 7

2.(4 + 3y) + y = 7

Do the diatributive

2 ×4 + 2×3y + y = 7

8 +6y+y = 7

8 + 7y = 7

7y = 7 - 8

7y = - 1

y = -1/7

Now replace y = -1/7 in any equation

x = 4 + 3y

x = 4 + 3 . -1/7

x = 4 -3/7

x = (4×7 -3)/7

x = 25/7

$\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\dfrac{2n}{n+4}\\\\=\dfrac{n^2+2n+n+2}{n^2+4n+2n+8}-\dfrac{2n}{n+4}\\\\=\dfrac{n(n+2)+1(n+2)}{n(n+4)+2(n+4)}-\dfrac{2n}{n+4}\\\\=\dfrac{(n+2)(n+1)}{(n+2)(n+4)}-\dfrac{2n}{n+4}\\\\=\dfrac{n+1}{n+4}-\dfrac{2n}{n+4}=\dfrac{n+1-2n}{n+4}=\dfrac{1-n}{n+4}$
