What is the solution for the system of equations? Use the substitution method to solve. 2x+y=20

2x + y = 20

-5y = -6x + 12


To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:

2x + y = 20     Subtract 2x on both sides

y = 20 - 2x


-5y = -6x + 12   (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)

-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12       Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)

-100 + 10x = -6x +12      Add 100 on both sides

10x = -6x + 112        Add 6x on both sides

16x = 112           Divide 16 on both sides

x = 7


Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:

2x + y = 20

2(7) + y = 20

14 + y = 20    Subtract 14 on both sides

y = 6


-5y = -6x + 12

-5y = -6(7) + 12

-5y = -42 + 12

-5y = -30       Divide -5 on both sides

y = 6


x = 7, y = 6

No, they did not eat the same amount. Barry ate less because his sandwich was smaller, so there would be a smaller half. Jonah ate more because his sandwich was bigger, so he would have eaten a bigger half.

Find the length of the median and the missing base. Be sure to show all your work. NO LINKS!!!​
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The bottom is  11

The median is  12

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the average of the top and bottom

(13+ 2x-3) /2 = 4x-16

Combine like terms

(10+2x)/2 = 4x-16

Divide by 2

5+x = 4x-16

Subtract x from each side

5+x-x = 4x-16-x

5 = 3x-16

Add 16 to each side

5+16 = 3x-16+16

21 = 3x

Divide by 3

21/3 = 3x/3

7 =x

The bottom is 2x-3 = 2*7-3 = 14-3 = 11

The median is 4x-16 = 4*7-16 = 28 -16 = 12

Find a vector 3 units long in the opposite direction from v = 〈3, 1,-4).
lutik1710 [3]

Unit vector along the direction v = <3,1,-4> is :

\hat{v} = \dfrac{3i + j  -4k}{\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2 + 4^2}}\\\\\hat{v} = \dfrac{3i + j -4k}{5.1}

So, unit vector opposing the \hat{v} is :

\hat{v'} = -\hat{v}\\\\\hat{v'} = -( \dfrac{3i + j -4k}{5.1})\\\\\hat{v'} = \dfrac{-3i - j +4k}{5.1}

so, vector of magnitude 3 units in opposite direction from v is :

\vec{V} = 3\hat{v'}\\\\\vec{V} = \dfrac{3}{5.1}( -3i -j+4k)

Hence, this is the required solution.

Please help me if you know this​
lisabon 2012 [21]
First you have to subtract 1.3 from 0.75 which equals -0.55. Then you have to add 3/7 to 2 which equals 2 and 3/7. Then you divide 2 and 3/7 by -0.55 which equals 0.9785 and that’s your answer. Sorry I don’t know the answer for the second problem but I hope this helped.
