Solve for x and y -2x-y=-9 5x-2y=-9

Mathematics

Lisa [10]3 years ago

we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9 

 -y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9

Which one of the following is not equal to 100 meters? 0.100 kilometers 10 hectometers 10,000 centimeters 100,000 millimeters
lara31 [8.8K]
Situation: Which one of the following is not equal to 100 meters?
We were given 4 different choices with corresponding values, not let's start finding the correct answer.
=> 0.100 kilometers
1 meter = 0.001 km 
100 meters = 0.1 km
=> 10 hectometers
1 meter = 0.01 hm
100 meters = 1 hm
=> 10,000 centimeters
1 meter = 100 centimeters
100 meters = 10 000 cm
=> 100,000 millimeters
1 meter = 1000 mm
100 meters = 100 000 mm
<span>thus the not equal answer is hectometer</span>

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.

Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.

2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3

now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
        -42          -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3

now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6

solution is (6,3)

it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)

so yes, ur solution is (6,3)

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

0.069\ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 kg=1,000 g

so

using proportion

Find out how many kilograms are 69 grams

Let

x -----> the weight in kg

\frac{1}{1,000}\frac{kg}{g} =\frac{x}{69}\frac{kg}{g}\\\\x=\frac{69}{1,000}\\\\x=0.069\ kg
