If p + q = 36, and p -q = 20, then q = ?

Mathematics

Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer:

q = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

p + q = 36 → (1)

p - q = 20 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term

2p = 56 ( divide both sides by 2 )

p = 28

Substitute p = 28 into (1)

28 + q = 36 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

q = 8

Use elimination to determine which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations below. Use the space below to show al
lidiya [134]

Answer:

in the ordered pair; ( x  = 27/4 , y = 1/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The system of the equation shown below is:

-2x - 14y = 10

 2x + 2y = 14

We are to use the elimination method to determine the ordered pair.

From the above equation:

-2x - 14y = 10  --- (1)

 2x + 2y = 14   --- (2)

Add both equation 1 and 2 together in order to eliminate x, then we can solve for y first.

-2x - 14y = 10

<u>  2x + 2y = 14       </u>

<u>  0  - 16y = -4        </u>

<u />

- 16 y = - 4

divide both sides by - 16, Then:

-16y /-16 = -4/-16

y = 1/4

Since y = 1/4, Then from equation (2), x will be :

2x + 2y = 14

2x + 2(1/4) = 14

2x + 1/2 = 14

2x = 14 - 1/2

2x = 13.5

x = 13.5/2

x = 27/4

Thus, in the ordered pair; ( x  = 27/4 , y = 1/4 )
