Simultaneous equations 2x+3y=13 4x-y=-2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(0.5, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 13 → (1)

4x - y = - 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y

12x - 3y = - 6 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

14x = 7 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 0.5

Substitute x = 0.5 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

2(0.5) + 3y = 13

1 + 3y = 13 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3y = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 4

Solution is (0.5, 4 )

Write an equation of the line that passes through point p and is perpendicular to the line with the given equation
goldenfox [79]
Do you have the specific point??

Remember, if 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are opposite reciprocals. So if one line has a slope of 4, the other line should have a slope of -1/4.

Hopefully your equation is in y=mx+b form. If so,

make sure you know slope (m) and the y-intercept. After this is done, plug in the points from p for y and x, and make sure to turn m into -1/m. Solve for b, and your new equation should be y=(new slope)x+(new y-intercept)

Suppose you have $23,000 that you are going to invest at a 7% interest rate compounded quarterly. According to the compound inte
andrew11 [14]
YAAS! I literally learned this just a few weeks ago. (I am not actually a high school senior) First, convert 7% to a decimal, which is 0.07. Then multiply 0.07 by 23,000, giving you 1,610. This is your unit rate. I will though, need you to be more specific on "compounding quarterly" because I actually do not know what that means.

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, kid mother grandparents lawn together for 60 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in 20
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Bobby around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem it is important to raise equations regarding what happens.

 They tell us that Billy (Bi) and Bobby (Bo) can mow the lawn in 60 minutes. That is to say that what they prune in a minute is giving as follows:

1 / Bo + 1 / Bi = 1/60 (1)

They say Billy could mow the lawn only in 20 minutes less than it would take Bobby, therefore

1 / Bi = 1 / (Bo-20) (2)

Replacing (2) in (1) we have:

1 / Bo + 1 / (Bo-20) = 1/60

Resolving

(Bo - 20 + B0) / (Bo * (Bo-20) = 1/60

120 * Bo - 1200 = Bo ^ 2 - 20Bo

Rearranging:

Bo ^ 2 - 140Bo -1200 = 0

Now applying the general equation

Bo = 130.82 or Bo = 9.17, <em>this last value cannot be because Billy took 20 minutes less and neither can he prune faster than the two together</em>, therefore Bobby only takes around 131 minutes and Billy around 111 minutes

Checking with equation 1:

1/131 +1/111 = ~ 1/60
