andriy [413]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lost "y" in the first equation.

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=14\\-x+3y=-6\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\\\.\qquad x=8\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(8)-3y=14\\16-3y=14\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\-3y=-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\boxed{x=8,\ y=\dfrac{2}{3}}

If first equation is correct.

2x-3=14\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2x=17\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x=8.5\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\-8.5+3y=-6\qquad\text{add 8.5 to both sides}\\3y=2.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\y=\dfrac{2.5}{3}\\y=\dfrac{25}{30}\\y=\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=8.5,\ y=\dfrac{5}{6}}

kipiarov [429]

On the graph, it shows that the shortest meeting has lasted for 1/4 of an hour. An hour has 60 mins, you know it the shortest will be 15 minutes.

If its for any other number that you do not know, you can list as a proportion:

1/4 = x/60 (1 and x are on the top of the fractions)

Cross multiply: 1 * 60 = 60

Then divide by the number on the opposite corner of x: 60/4

x = 15
