These problems are called systems of equations. Basically you have two linear equations and you need to find the values for x and y. In other words, all these equation are lines and our answer will be the exact point that the pair of lines intersect. For example, if we get x=1 and y=2 the lines will intersect at point (1,2). Now that you have some background knowledge here comes the tricks and tactics kid.

We know that we can solve one variable equation easily. For example...

x+1=2

x=1 obviously

Cause we have two variables x and y it is not possible to find a solution. For example, in the equation x+y=10, x=1 when y=9 and x=2 when y=8. There is not correct answer.

So what can we do? We have to make a two variable equation into a one variable equation.

There are two ways to do this: substitution and elimination. I will create a sample problem and then solve it using both methods.

x+y=2

2y-y=1

3)  

-3x-5y=-7 -----> -12x-20y=-28

-4x-3y=-2 ------> -12x-9y=-6

 -12x-20y=-28

-(-12x-9y=-6)

---------------------

-11y=-22

y=2

-3x-5(2)=-7

-3x=3

x=-1

4) 8x+4y=12 ---> 24x+12y=36

7x+3y=10 ---> 28x+12y=40

 28x+12y=40

-(24x+12y=36)

---------------------

4x=4

x=1

8(1)+4y=12

4y=4

y=1

5) 4x+3y=-7

-2x-5y=7 ----> -4x-10y=14

    4x+3y=-7

+(-4x-10y=14)

-------------------

-7y=7

y=-1

4x+3(-1)=-7

4x=-4

x=-1

6) 8x-3y=-9 ---> 32x-12y=-36

5x+4y=12 ---> 15x+12y=36

 32x-12y=-36

+(15x+12y=36)

--------------------

47x=0

x=0

8(0)-3y=-9

-3y=-9

y=3

7)-3x+5y=-2

2x-2y=1 ---> x-y=1/2 ----> x=y+1/2

-3(y+1/2)+5y=-2

-3y-1.5+5y=-2

2y=-0.5

y=0.25

2x-2(0.25)=1

2x=1.5

x=0.75

What is the answer to 4x+y=10
Alina [70]

Answer:

y = -4x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume you are trying to write the equation of a line.

4x + y = 10

4x - 4x + y = 10 - 4x

y = -4x + 10

Kayce and her friends are renting a summer house together. The eight friends will spend 6 days at this house. The overall cost i
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: First you would do this 1260.90 divided by 6 = 210. So then you would multiply 210 x 2 = 420. $420 is how much the people who are staying for 6 days. Then since we know it’s $210 per day, we would subtract $420 from 1260.90 and we would get 840.90. Divide that by 6 and get 140. 140 is how much those two people are paying for 2 nights.

There are approximately 17,620 people per square mile in New York City. If New York City is 468
Simora [160]

Answer:

8,246,160

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density

= people/area

Given

Population density of New York = 17,620 and

Area = 468 square mile

Therefore,

17620 = people /468

Cross multiply

People = 17620 x 468

= 8246160

There are 8,246,160 people in New York
