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 )

Answer:

54 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The ratio of teachers to students on a field trip to New York City is 2 to 9.

That is the ratio is 2:9

We are told that there are 243 students

Required

We want to find the number of teachers

Step two:

Applying the part to part method we have

let the number of teachers be x

2/9= x/243

cross multiply we have

9x= 243*2

9x= 486

divide both sides by 9

x= 54

Hence there are 54 teachers
