Answer: x=-5 and y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2y = 21 ............ Eq 1

-4x + y = 23 .............. Eq2

In eq 2,let's make y the subject of the formula ; add 4x to both sides to get : - 4x + 4x + y = 23 + 4x

Which gives: y = 23 + 4x .... Eq3

Put this value of y into eq 1 to get;

-3x + 2(23 + 4x) = 21

Which gives: - 3x + 46 + 8x = 21

Which givea; 5x + 46 = 21

Subtract 46 from both sides to get;

5x + 46 - 46 = 21 - 46 to get

5x = - 25

Divide both sides by 5;

5x/5 = - 25/5

Therefore, x = - 5

Now,put - 5 for x in Eq3;

y = 23 + 4(-5)

y = 23 - 20

y = 3

Therefore the solution to the question is x=-5 and y=3

Answer:

2y = 3x + 21

y = 1.5x + 10.5

plug in, in the second equation

- 4x + (1.5x + 10.5) = 23

-4x + 1.5x + 10.5 = 23

-2.5x + 10.5 = 23

-2.5x = 12.5

x = 12.5/-2.5 = -5

y = 1.5 (-5) + 10.5 = 3

x = -5

y = 3

Please solve and show work! Thanks!
notsponge [240]

Answer:

1) x < 1, x > 9

2) 2 < x ≤ 6, -4 ≤ x < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) lx - 5l > 4

x - 5 = 4

x = 9

-(x - 5) = 4

x = -4 + 5 = 1

x < 1, x > 9

3) 1 < lx-1l ≤ 5

1 < x-1 ≤ 5

2 < x ≤ 6

1 < -(x-1) ≤ 5

-5 ≤ x-1 < -1

-4 ≤ x < 0

What is the result of adding these two equations? \begin{aligned} 2x+3y &amp;= -5 \\\\ 5x-y &amp;= -12 \end{aligned} 2x+3y 5x−y
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

7x+2y = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equations:

2x+3y = -5

5x-y = -12

If we want to add these equations, we just need to add x-terms, y-terms and independent terms.

(2x+5x)+(3y-y) = -5-12

7x+2y = -17

I hope it helps you!

The principal at valley elementary school had 840 stickers that he gave to 42 children. 2/3 of the children were boys and each o
STatiana [176]

Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.

Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.

The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were

2/3 × 42 = 28

The number if girls would be

42 - 28 = 14

The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that

28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1

Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

28x + 14 × 2x = 840

28x + 28x = 840

56x = 840

x = 840/56

x = 15

y = 2x = 15 × 2

y = 30
