Answer:

The value of x is 12.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following proportion below;

 \dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{5}{x}  

To find the value of x, first we have to find the number by which 12 must be divided so that we get 5 as a result.

That number is 2.4, that is if we divide 12 with 2.4 we get the result as 5.

So,  \dfrac{\frac{12}{2.4} }{\frac{30}{2.4} } = \dfrac{5}{x}  

This means that x=\frac{30}{2.4}

                           x=\frac{300}{24} = 12.5.

So, we get the value of x = 12.5.

Now, to check the solution to this proportion, we use cross multiplication method;

\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{5}{12.5}

12 \times 12.5 = 5 \times 30

150  =  150

Since both sides of the equation are equal, that means our value of x = 12.5 is correct.

Answer:

Substitute 12.5 for x in the original proportions: 12/30 = 5/12.5. Then cross multiply and verify that the two products are equal: 150 - 150.

Substitution method...need help.. started but cant finish
trapecia [35]

Solve either equation for either variable. Since the second one has y on its own, the easiest choice is to solve that for y.

-5x + y = 13   ⇒   y = 5x + 13

Now substitute this into the other equation to eliminate y and rewrite it entirely in terms of x :

-3x + 3y = 3   ⇒   -3x + 3 (5x + 13) = 3

Simplify and solve for x :

-3x + 15x + 39 = 3

12x = -36

x = -3

Substitute this into either original equation to solve for y. Plugging x = -3 into the first equation would give

-3 (-3) + 3y = 3

9 + 3y = 3

3y = -6

y = -2

So the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-3, -2).
