−5x+4y=38 −x+2y=10 solve by elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(-6, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 4y - 38 = 0 (1) | -x +2y - 10 = 0 (2)

First i multiply the 2nd equation by -5, because i want the magnitude of the x coefficient to be the same but with opposite signs, because when i'll add the equations the x's are going to cancel.

(2) * (-5):

5x - 10y + 50 = 0 (2')

(1) + (2'):

-5x + 4y - 38 + 5x - 10y + 50 = 0

-6y + 12 = 0

y = 2

Use the second equation, before multiplying to find the x - solution.

-x + 2(2) - 10 = 0

-x + 4 - 10 = 0 | add 'x'  to both sides

x = -6

Complete the table shown to the right for the population growth model for a certain country.
marta [7]

The size of the population increases when the growth rate is positive and

decreases for a negative growth rate.

The completed table is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \  K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right]

Reasons:

The table is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \  K \\40.5&20.9&\end{array}\right]

The population in growth rate is given by the following formula;

P = a·(1 + r)ˣ

Where;

a = The initial population in 2003 = 40.5 million

P = The population in 2029 = 20.9 million

x = The number of years = 2029 - 2003 = 26

Therefore;

20.9 = 40.5 × (1 + r)²⁹

\left (1 + r\right)^{29} = \dfrac{20.9}{40.5}

r = \left(\dfrac{20.9}{40.5} \right)^{\dfrac{1}{29} } - 1 \approx  -0.02255

The population growth rate is r ≈ -0.02255 = -2.255 %

The completed table is therefore;

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}2003 \ Population (millions)&Projected \ 2029 \ Population \ (millions)&Growth \ rate \  K \\40.5&20.9&-2.255\%\end{array}\right]
