I'm so confused about solving by substitution.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = -2x + 8

y = x - 1

Substitute x - 1 for y in the first equation

We have

y = -2x + 8

x - 1 = -2x + 8

Add 1 to both sides to eliminate 1 on the left side

x - 1 + 1 = -2x + 8 + 1

x = -2x + 9

Add 2x to both sides to eliminate 2x on the right side

x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3

Now substitute 3 for x in either equations to get y

Using the second equation, we have

y = x - 1

y = 3 - 1

y = 2

x = 3 and

y = 2

URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!!!
telo118 [61]

(1)

we are given

\frac{y}{6} =x

we can  find for y

multiply both sides by 6

\frac{y}{6}*6 =6*x

y=6x

we can see that y is directly proportional to x

so, option-D........Answer

(2)

y varies inversely with x

so, we can write it as

y=k\frac{1}{x}

now, we are given

y=5 when x=2.5

so, we can plug it here

5=k\frac{1}{2.5}

and then we can solve for k

5*2.5=2.5*k\frac{1}{2.5}

k=12.5

now, we can plug back

y=\frac{12.5}{x}

we can plug x=20

y=\frac{12.5}{20}

y=0.625.............Answer

(3)

we are given

The current, I, in a circuit varies inversely with the resistance, R

so, we can write it as

I=\frac{k}{R}

we have R=12 when I=3

so, we can plug it

3=\frac{k}{12}

now, we can solve for k

3*12=12*\frac{k}{12}

k=36

now, we can plug back

I=\frac{36}{R}

we can plug R=6

I=\frac{36}{6}

I=6................Answer

Carl bought 24 daisies and roses. Daisies cost $0.25 each and roses cost $0.90 each. If
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Roses= $8.4

Daises= $15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the daises and let r represent d roses

r + d= 24....equation 1

0.25r + 0.90d= 16.40.......equation 2

r= 25-d

Substitute 25-d for r in equation 2

0.25(25-d) + 0.90d= 16.40

6.25-0.25d+0.90d= 16.40

6.25+0.65d= 16.40

0.65d= 16.40-6.25

0.65d= 10.15

d= 10.15/0.65

d = 15.6

Sub 15.6 for d in equation 1

r+d= 24

r+15.6= 24

r= 24-15.6

= 8.4

Price of daises is $15.6

Roses is $8.4
