Answer:

\huge\boxed{x = 6 , y = -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \frac{1}{2} x - 3y = 9-----------(1)\\5x + y = 28 ----------(2)

Taking equation (1)

\sf \frac{1}{2} x -3 y=9

Multiplying both sides by 2

\sf x-6y = 18

Adding 6y to both sides

\sf x = 18+6y

Putting this in (2)

5(18+6y) + y = 28

5(18+6y) + y = 28

90 + 30y+y = 28

31y+90-28 = 0

31 y + 62 = 0

31y = -62

Dividing both sides by 31

y = -2

Now,

x = 18 + 6y

x = 18+6(-2)

x = 18-12

x = 6

1/2x - 3y = 9 (1)
5x + y = 28 (2)

(1) x 2
x - 6y = 18

(2) x 6
30x + 6y = 168
—————

x - 6y = 18 (3)
30x + 6y = 168 (4)

(3) + (4)
31x = 186
x = 6

sub x into (2)
30 + y = 28
y = -2
—————

x = 6
y = -2

What is the simplified form of the equation 4/5n - 1/5 = 2/5n ?
Gnoma [55]

we are given

\frac{4}{5}n -\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{5}n

Firstly , we will multiply both sides by 5

5*\frac{4}{5}n -5*\frac{1}{5} =5*\frac{2}{5}n

now, we can simplify it

4n-1 =2n

2n =1

now, we can solve for n

n =\frac{1}{2}.............Answer

Tickets to the zoo cost $14 for adults and $10 for children. A group of 12 people went to the zoo, and the tickets cost $140. Th
hjlf
 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children
