Answer: 1.25 or 1 1/4 pts
X + y = 24
x - y = 2
-------------add
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13
x - y = 2
13 - y = 2
-y = 2 - 13
-y = - 11
y = 11
ur numbers are 11 and 13
Answer:
4515
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The true statements are:
the first statement: Systems A and C have the same solution
the fourth statement: System C simplifies to 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18
the fifth statement: Systems A and B have different soltuoins.
Explanation:
1) The first statement: systems A and C have the same solutiotn: TRUE
The fourth statement proves that that the two systems are equivalent which means that both have the same solution.
2) The second statement: All three systems have different solutions: FALSE
The fourth statement proves that the systems A and C have same solution, so this second statement is false.
3) The third statement: Systems B and C have the same solution: FALSE
<span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different
Solution of system B.
3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3
replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5
=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5
=> - 17x = 5 + 12
=> -17x = 17
=> x = - 17 / 17
=> x = - 1
y = 5x + 3 = 5(-1) + 3 = - 5 + 3 = - 2
=> solution x = -1 and y = -2
Solution of system C.
2x - 3y = 4
12x - 3y = 54
subtract
</span>
4) fourth statement: System C simplifies to <span>2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18 by dividing the second equation by three: TRUE
Look:
Second equation of system C = 12x - 3y = 54
Divide by 3:
12x - 3y 54
----------- = -----
3 3
Distributive property:
12x 3y
------ - ----- = 18
3 3
4x - y = 18, which is the same second equation of system A, so the system C simplifies to the same system A, which is 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18.
5) The fifth statement: systems A and B have different solutions: TRUE
</span><span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different
Solution of system A:
2x - 3y = 4
12x - 3y = 54 since it is equivalent to 4x - y = 18
-------------------
12x - 2x = 54 - 4 subtracting the first equation from the secon
10x = 50 adding like terms
x = 5 dividing by 10
From 2x - 3y = 4 => 3y = 2x - 4 = 2(5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6
=> y = 6 / 3 = 2
=> x = 5, y = 2
Solution of system B.
3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3
replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5
=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5
=> - 17x = 5 + 12
=> -17x = 17
=> x = - 17 / 17
=> x = - 1
Which is enough to prove that the two systems have different solutions.</span>
