Solve the system of equations by substitution: y = x - 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 2

x + y = 12

Substitute the first expression for y into the second equation.

x + (x - 2) = 12

2x - 2 = 12

2x = 14

x = 7

Now plug into either equation to find y.

y = 7 - 2

y = 5

So the solution is (7, 5).

A laboratory technician needs to make a 63-liter batch of a 20% acid solution How can the laboratory technician combine a batch
Gre4nikov [31]
Let x be the volume (liters) of pure (at 100%) acid needed
Let y be the volume (liters) of the other acid (at 10%) needed 
The final solution will be:
a) x+ y = 63 liters, AND their respective concentration in acid: is
100% x & 10% :y that will generate 63 liters at 20%
b) x +0.1 y = 63x 0.2 = 12.6

Let's solve this system of 2 equations:

x + y =63
x + 0.1 y = 12.6

Solving it will give you:

x= 7 liters at 100%
y = 56 liters at 10%

Artemon [7]

Answer:

g(10) = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)= -4x+3

g(1) means evaluate when x=10

g(10) = -4*10 +3

g(10) = -4*10 +3

g(10) = -40+3

g(10) = -37
