Solve by substitution -x+y=7 and 2x+3y=31

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

(2,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you have to solve one of the equations for a variable.

-x+y=7

2x+3y=31

Because the first equation doesn't have any numbers attached to the variables I decided to solve for the y in that equation.

-x+y=7

y=x+7

With this now one would have to plug this into the second equations:

2x+3(x+7)=31

Use the distributive property.

2x+3x+21=31

simplify.

5x+21=31

Isolate the x.

    -21     -21

5x=10

solve for the x.

x=2

Plug the x into one of the equations and solve for y.

-x+y=7

-2+y=7

isolate the y.

+2     +2

y=9

This  is the point of solution.

7x5=20+8+<br> Fill in the missing number to make the equation true
antoniya [11.8K]
Answer: 7

step-by-step:
okay so first you do 7*5 which is 35 and 20+8 which is 28

then you get 35=28+x (the x is the ‘missing number’)

to find x you subtract 28 from both sides to keep the equation balanced

35-28=28-28+x

so 35-28 is 7 and 28-28 is 0 so then you have 7=x and your answer is 7

you’re doing algebra but instead of using variables your teacher is saying find the ‘missing number’ haha

Which equation can be used to find y, the year in which
Rasek [7]

Answer:

<h2>C. 0.05 +0.1y = 0.12 + 0.06y</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, both expression are equal because they have the same amount of mercury.

When the problem specifies an initial value, this means that value is not with the variable, because is an initial constant. When the problem specifies a rate, this is a coefficient of the variable, which expresses time (years.)

So, 0.05 parts per billion with a rate of 0.1 means: 0.05 + 0.1y, because the ratio is rising, that means is positive.

Similarly, 0.12 parts per billion with a rate of 0.06 means: 0.12 + 0.06y, because the ratio is also increasing, is positive.

Therefore, the right answer is C.
