Answer:
240 149/1000, 240149/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Mixed Number, Improper Fraction
Little late, but your answer would be 133 pieces of candy corn.
Best of luck.
The solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
2x + 3y = 14 ---------- eqn 1
3x - 4y = 4 --------- eqn 2
We have to solve the given system of equations
We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method
<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 3</u></em>
3(2x + 3y = 14)
6x + 9y = 42 --------- eqn 3
<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>
2(3x - 4y = 4)
6x - 8y = 8 ----------- eqn 4
<em><u>Subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3</u></em>
6x + 9y = 42
6x - 8y = 8
( - ) --------------
9y + 8y = 42 - 8
17y = 34
<h3>y = 2</h3>
<em><u>Substitute y = 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
2x + 3(2) = 14
2x + 6 = 14
2x = 14 - 6
2x = 8
<h3>x = 4</h3>
Thus the solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)
<span>8x + 8y = -48
-------------------------
Plug in -8 for x
(8) (-8) + 8y = -48
-------------------------------
Simplify
</span><span><span><span>(8) </span><span>(<span>−8</span>) </span></span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>−64 </span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span>-----------------------------------------
Add 64 to each side
<span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>+ 64 </span>= <span><span>−48 </span>+ 64
</span><span>8y </span>= <span>16
</span>---------------------------------------------------
Finally, divide each side by 8
8y ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
y = <span>2
</span>----------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2 is your answer
