Answer:

(arranged from top to bottom)

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

$2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2$

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4$

System #2: x=1

$x+2y=5\\2x+y=4$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4$

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

$x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1$

System #3: x=6

$5x+y=33\\x=18-4y$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33$

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

$x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6$

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

$y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0$

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

$x+3y=5\\6x-y=11$

Isolate your second equation for y.

$6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11$

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

$x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2$

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

$2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2$

Isolate your first equation for y.

$2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2$

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

$y=10+x\\2x+3y=45$

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

$2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3$

i have 17 coins. N of them are nickels and the rest are dimes. write an expression in two different ways for the amount of money

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7 (in dollars

1.7 - 0.05N (in dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total number of coins = 17

Number of nickels = N

Number of dimes = 17 - N

1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05

1 dime = 10 cent = $0.1

The amount of money :

(Value of nickel * number of nickels) + (value of dime * number of dime)

(0.05 * N) + (0.1 * (17-N))

0.05N + 1.7 - 0.1N

0.05N - 0.1N + 1.7

-0.05N + 1.7 = 1.7 - 0.05N

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle,

90 = (x + 20) + (x + 10)

90 = x + x + 20 + 10

90 = 2x + 30

90 - 30 = 2x

60 = 2x

60/2 = 2x/2

30 = x

Check:

x + 20

30 + 20 = 50

x + 10

30 + 10 = 40

50 + 40 = 90

Hope this helps!
