2x-y=26 3x-2y=42 help

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of these questions are always tricky, one thing you need to know, is you want to try to solve for one variable, and than substitute it in, to find the value of the other variable, and than plug that answer in to the original question to find the value of that other variable.

That probably sounds really confusing, so I'll just do the math, and guide you along the path...

<em>First, we are going to solve for y, and plug it into 3x-2y=42...</em><em />


2x - y = 26

2x = 26 + y

y = 2x - 26

----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3x - 2(2x - 26) = 42

3x - 4x - 52 = 42

-x - 52 = 42

-x = 94

x = -94

-----------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2y = 42

-282 - 2y = 42

-2y = 324

y = -162

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHECK:

2x - y = 26   

<span />2(-94) - (-162) = 26

-188 + 162 = 26

-26 = 2<span>6<span /><span><span>          </span></span>CORRECT<span /></span><span /><span /><span />

--------------

3x - 2y = 42

3(-94) - 2(-162) = 42

-282 + 324 = 42

42 = 42            <span>CORRECT</span>

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Rs. 5500

Step-by-step explanation:

The government has declared that farm workers should be paid Rs. 71 for a day's work

The landlord Mohan pays Rahul Rs. 60 and pays Rs. 55 to his wife

Rahul works for 55 days

= 60 × 55

= Rs. 3,300

His wife works for 40 days

= 55 ×40

= Rs. 2,200

Therefore the total amount of money earned together can be calculated as follows

= 3300 + 2200

= Rs. 5500

Hence they will earn Rs. 5500 together

Convert 8 21/40 to a decimal
Harman [31]
= 8 21/40

= 8 + 21/40

= 8/1 + 21/40

= (8/1 * 40/40) + 21/40

= 320/40 + 21/40

= 341/40

= 341 ÷ 40

= 8.525
