2x-5y=3 4y-x=-3 solve by elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -1 and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation we say

let

2x-5y=3.......................................... equation 1

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

from equation 2

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

4y + 3 = x

i.e

x = 4y + 3 .............................................  equation 3

put x = 4y + 3 in equation 1

2(4y +3) - 5y = 3

8y + 6 -5y = 3

3y +6 = 3

3y= 3-6

3y -3

divide both sides by the coefficient  of y  which is 3

3y/3 = -3/3

y = -1

put y = -1 into equation 3

x = 4y + 3 .............................................  equation 3

x = 4(-1) + 3

x = -4 + 3

x = -1

therefore the value of x = -1 and y = -1 respectively

Choose the system of equations that matches the following graph:
Vilka [71]

One of the lines passes through points (0, 6) and (-4, 3). Hence the equation is given by:

(y - 6)/(x - 0) = (3 - 6)/(-4 - 0)

(y - 6)/x = -3/-4 = 3/4

4(y - 6) = 3x

4y - 24 = 3x

3x - 4y = -24

The other line passes through points (0, -3) and (1, 0). Hence the equation is given by:

(y - (-3))/(x - 0) = (0 - (-3))/(1 - 0)

(y + 3)/x = (0 + 3)/1

y + 3 = 3x

3x - y = 3

Therefore, the system of equations representing the graph is:

3x - 4y = -24

3x - y = 3

A) In a group of 60 students, 15 liked maths only, 20 liked science only and 5 did not like
Paladinen [302]

Part (i)

We have 60 students total, and 5 didn't like any of the two subjects, so that must mean 60-5 = 55 students liked at least one subject.

<h3>Answer: 55</h3>

=========================================================

Part (ii)

We have 15 who like math only, 20 who like science only, and 55 who like either (or both). Let x be the number of people who like both classes.

We can then say

15+20+x = 55

x+35 = 55

x = 55-35

x = 20

This means 20 people liked both subjects

<h3>Answer: 20</h3>

=========================================================

Part (iii)

There are 15 people who like math only, and 20 who like both. Therefore, there are 15+20 = 35 people who like math (and some of these people also like science)

<h3>Answer: 35</h3>

=========================================================

Part (iv)

We'll follow the same idea as the previous part. There are 20 people who like science only and 20 who like both subjects. That yields 40 people total who like science (and some of these people also like math).

<h3>Answer: 40</h3>

=========================================================

Part (v)

We'll draw a rectangle to represent the entire group of 60 students. This is considered the universal set. Inside the rectangle will be two overlapping circles to represent math (M) and science (S).

We'll have 15 go in circle M, but outside circle S to represent the 15 people who like math only. Then we have 20 go in circle S but outside circle M to show the 20 people who like science only. We have another copy of 20 go in the overlapped region between the circles. This is the 20 people who like both classes. And finally, we have 5 go outside both circles, but inside the rectangle. These are the 5 people who don't like either subject.

Note how all of the values in the diagram add up to 60

15+20+20+5 = 60

This helps confirm we have the correct values.

I need help trying to figure this out I think I have and answer but I want to make sure.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = \frac{frequency(midpoint)}{frequency}

let x be the missing frequency, then

Total frequency × midpoint

= (16 × 2) + 7x + (20 × 12) + (10 × 17) = 32 + 7x + 240 + 170 = 442 + 7x

Total frequency = 16 + x + 20 + 10 = 46 + x, thus

\frac{242+7x}{46+x} = 8.5 ( cross- multiply )

442 + 7x = 8.5(46 + x)

442 + 7x = 391 + 8.5x ( subtract 8.5x from both sides )

442 - 1.5x = 391 ( subtract 442 from both sides )

- 1.5x = - 51 ( divide both sides by - 1.5 )

x = 34

The missing frequency is 34

kupik [55]
The following formula is used to find the answer.
                                       D = 50 mg (0.6^n)
D is the dosage 
n is at any hour 
Using this formula and solving the equation for it, the answer is 18.
