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

A truck can be rented from company a is $120 a day plus $0.20 per mile. company b charges $40 a day plus &0.60 per mile to r
nadya68 [22]
First need to make an equation for each

x = Miles
y = Total Cost

Comp A: 120 + 0.20x = y
Comp B: 40 + 0.60x = y

cancel out the amounts to make it easier (Subtract 40 from each)

Comp A: 80 + 0.20x = y
Comp B: 0.60x = y

insert a problem for y to solve for x

 80 + 0.20x = 0.60x

Your answer is 200 miles

Can someone help me with this? Thanks!
lana [24]

Answer:

b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

4b+5=1+5b (subtract 4b on both sides to get the b's together)

-4b         -4b

5=1+5b-4b (subtract 1 from both sides)

-1  -1

4=1b (divide by 1)

b=4

You find yourself with 17 guilders( a gold coin) but you are planning on taking a trip to a country where the local currency is
3241004551 [841]

We are given

The current exchange rate is 2 guilders for every 3 florins

so,

2 guilders = 3 florins

now, we can find for 1 guilders

so, we get

1guilders=\frac{3}{2} florins

now, we can multiply both sides by 17

17\times 1guilders=17\times \frac{3}{2} florins

now, we can simplify it

17guilders=25.5florins

so, option-A........Answer

If the altitude of an isosceles right triangle has a length of x units, what is the length of one leg of the large right triangl
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

the picture in the attached figure

we know that

if ABC is an isosceles triangle

then

AB=BC

angle A=angle C=45 degrees

and

triangle ABD and triangle BDC also are isosceles triangles

AD=BD=x

DC=BD=x

the hypotenuse AC is equal to

AC=AD+DC\\ AC=x+x\\ AC=2x

To find the length AB applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AC^{2} =AB^{2} +BC^{2}

remember that AB=BC

AC^{2} =2AB^{2}

AC^{2} =2AB^{2}\\\\ AB=\frac{AC}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\ AB=\frac{2x}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\ AB=x\sqrt{2}

therefore

the answer is

the length of one leg of the large right triangle in terms of x is equal to x\sqrt{2}
