X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42
Answer:
5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
20 + 8(5) = 60
50 + 2(5) = 60
The negative and positive both represent the sea level
Answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
You add up all of the candies so 20+19+28 which is 66
18 is the number of strawberry candies so it becomes 18 over 66, 18/66
Symplify 18/66 and it becomes 3/11

But as 2 is the gradient, and 1 is the y-intercept. If you’re trying to find the value of y and x, sub 0 into x: y= 2(0) + 1
So y would equal 1
Then sub 0 into y: 0= 2x + 1
So x would equal -1/2
