Mathematics

Paladinen [302]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = - 9 → (1)

4x - 2y = - 26 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term eliminates the y- term, that is

7x = - 35 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(- 5) + 2y = - 9

- 15 + 2y = - 9 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 3

Solve <br><br> 0.6(10n + 25) = 10 + 5n ?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: x=-5

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

(0.6)(10n)+(0.6)(25)=10+5n(Distribute)\\6n+15=10+5n\\6n+15=5n+10

<u>Subtract 5n from both sides</u>

6n+15-5n=5n+10-5n\\n+15=10

<u>Subtract 15 from both sides</u>

n+15-15=10-15\\n=-5
