Solve 7x+3y=8 and 4x-y=-9 simultaneously

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: x = -1 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 3y = 8 ........................... equation 1

4x - y = - 9 ............................ equation 2

Solving the simultaneous linear equation by substitution method , make y the subject of the formula from equation 2 , we have

y = 4x + 9 ............................. equation 3

substitute y = 4x + 9 into equation 1 , we have;

7x + 3 ( 4x + 9 ) = 8

7x + 12x + 27 = 8

19x + 27 = 8

subtract 27 from both sides

19x = -19

divide through by 19

x = -1

substitute x = -1 into equation 3 , we have

y = 4 ( -1) + 9

y = -4 + 9

y = 5

Therefore :

x = -1 and y = 5

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x = 5?
puteri [66]
The solution to your equation is:

Solve:
1/4x = 5

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4
4 * (1/4x) = (4) * (5)

x = 20


Thus your answer is:

Letter Choice (C), x = 20





Hope that helps!!!

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\&#10;I = Prt\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$2\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount}\to& \$25\\&#10;r=rate \\&#10;t=years\to &\frac{1}{2}&#10;\end{cases}

bearing in mind, "t" is in years, 6months is just 1/2 year

solve for "r", you'd get a decimal amount, multiply times 100, to get the percentage form
