6+47=53
53-1=52
that’s all the steps, i hope it helps
Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+100=5x+55
subtract 55 from both sides
2x+45=5x
minus 2x
45=3x
divide by 3
x=15
plug it in
2(15)+100=130
Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of the "elimination" technique is to combine the equations in a way that eliminates one of the variables. Sometimes this involves multiplying one or both of the equations by constants before you add those results together. In any event, the first step is to look at the coefficients of the variable terms to see if there is a simple combination of them that will result in zero.
The y terms have coefficients that are opposites of each other (4, -4), so you can simply add the two equations to eliminate y as a variable.
(2x +4y) +(x -4y) = (1) +(5)
3x = 6 . . . . . simplify
x = 2 . . . . . . divide by 3
Now, you find y by substituting this value into one of the equations. I would choose the equation with the positive y-coefficient:
2(2) +4y = 1
4y = -3 . . . . . . subtract 4
y = -3/4
Then the solution is ...
(x, y) = (2, -3/4)

A graphing calculator confirms this solution.
Let's break down the problem step by step.
The sum of 4 times a larger integer can be summarized as:
4x
9 times a smaller integer can be summarized as:
9y
We know that we're adding the two expressions because the beginning of the problem has sum. We also know the sum is 3.
So, we get:
4x + 9y = 3
Continuing with the problem, we have the difference between 8 times the larger
8x
We also have 3 times the smaller
3y
This part of the problem mentions the difference between these expressions so we subtract and we know the difference is 27.
8x - 3y = 27
Now, we have both equations so we can solve for either x or y.
4x + 9y = 3
8x - 3y = 27
It's easier to multiply the 4x equation by 2 to have both equations resulting in 8x
(4x + 9y = 3) * 2
We get:
8x +18y = 6
So, we now have:
8x + 18y = 6
8x - 3y = 27
We can subtract the x to get y by itself. We get:
21y = -21
Solve for y and we get:
y = -1
Since we know what y is, we can plug that in and solve for x. It doesn't matter which equation you plug y back in. I'm gonna use the second equation.
8x - 3y = 27
8x - 3 (-1) = 27
8x + 3 = 27
8x = 24
x = 3
So, we now know that
y = -1
x = 3
