Solve the system of equations using substitution

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andru [333]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 136/11 , y = 68/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Reverse the equality in 2 y = x in order to isolate x to the left hand side.

2 y = x is equivalent to x = 2 y:

{6 x - y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = 2 y into the first equation:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by 11:

{y = 68/11

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 68/11 into the second equation:

{y = 68/11

x = 136/11

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 136/11 , y = 68/11

4x - 7 (2 - x) = 3x + 2
juin [17]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x−7(2−x)=3x+2

4x+(−7)(2)+(−7)(−x)=3x+2(Distribute)

4x+−14+7x=3x+2

(4x+7x)+(−14)=3x+2(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−14=3x+2

11x−14=3x+2

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

11x−14−3x=3x+2−3x

8x−14=2

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

8x−14+14=2+14

8x=16

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

x=2

Solve for x in the diagram below (picture included)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the straight line is equal to 180°, and the three angles that make it are (x+12),100°, and x. We can use the equation 180=(x+12)+100+x to find x.

180=(x+12)+100+x

We can remove the parentheses and combine x plus x to 2x.

180=100+2x+12

100+12=112

so

180=112+2x

-112 -112

68=2x

÷2 ÷2
