Solve the system using elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 9 → (1)

x + 5y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (2) by - 2 then adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

multiply (2) by - 2

- 2x - 10y = - 16 → (3)

add 1(1) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (3y - 10y) = (9 - 16)

- 7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for x

(1) : 2x + 3 = 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Solution is (3, 1 )

Elizabeth brought a box of donuts to share. There are​ two-dozen (24) donuts in the​ box, all identical in​ size, shape, and col
Wewaii [24]
This is a probability problem with two dependent events and conditional probability. Note that after the first donut is chosen, it is not replaced into the data set, so only 23 donuts remain. If we set A=selection of a lemon-filled, and B=selection of a custard-filled, then P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A), where P(B|A) means the probability of B happening given that A has already occurred.P(A) = 8/24 = 1/3 = 0.333333P(B|A) = 12/23 = 0.521739P(A and B) = 1/3(12/23) = 12/69 = 0.1739130435 or 17.4%
