X and y is the variable 4x-7y=3 x-7y=-15 what is the answer please

1 answer:

6 0

Use linear combination to solve this. It is much faster than substitution. I would start by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
4x-7y=3
-x+7y=15
Then, add the two equations together. The result is:
3x=18.
You've eliminated one variable. Now you can solve for the other one.
Divide both sides by 3 to get
x=6
Plug this into one of the original equations, then solve for y
-(6)+7y=15
7y=21
y=3

Check your work by plugging these values into both equations to see if they remain true

Answer:

p=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse of any number means a number which can be added to the original number to get

Two numbers are said to be additive inverse of each other if sum of both numbers is 0. For example if 5 is the given number then -5 will be it's additive inverse. So to find additive inverse, we basically change the sign of number.

Given number p is additive inverse off -1.2 so p must be 1.2.

Sum will obviously be 0.

So to graph them on number line, we make a point at -1.2, 1.2 and at 0 for their sum.

21 is what percent of 40

-Dominant- [34]

To solve for this, set up a proportion.
21/40 = x/100.
Cross multiply the fraction's numerators with the denominators;
21 x 100, 40 and x.
2100/40x.
Divide both numbers by 40 to get x.
2100/40 = 52.5
21 is 52.5% of 40.
I hope this helps!
