Answer:x=3 and y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are told "sum of 5 times one number, x, and 4 times a second number, y, is 75":

5x+4y=75 (1)

Then, we are told "he sum of the two numbers is 18":

x+y=18 (2)

At this point we have our system of equations and now we are able to find the values of x and y.

So, let's begin by isolating x from (2):

x=18-y (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

5(18-y)+4y=75 (4)

Finding y:

90-5y+4y=75

y=15 (5) This is the value of y

Substituting (5) in (1):

5x+4(15)=75 (6)

Finding y:

5x+60=75 (7)

x=3 (8) This is the value of x

Shalnov [3]

3x + 20 = 5x - 16

3x - 5x = -16 - 20

-2x = -36

x = -36/-2

x = 18

The measure of angle xyz can also be said to be the measure of angle y.

So, y = (3•18 + 20)

y = 54 + 20

y = 74°

The measure of angle xyz = 74°.

How do you solve the following system of equations by eliminating the y-values? I've already solved it by eliminating the x-valu
AlexFokin [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the y terms are -3 and 2.  The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.  So multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, so that the y terms have a coefficient of 6.

4x − 6y = 42

-18x + 6y = 21

The signs are opposite, so add the equations together.

-14x = 63

x = -9/2
