2x-8y=-24 6x+4y=68 Using elimination method

1 answer:

4 0

6(2x-8y=-24)
-2 (6x+4y=68)
12x-48y=-144
-12x-8y=-136
-56y=-280

-280÷-56=5
y=5

2x-8 (5)=-24
2x-40=-24
+40. +40
2x=16
16÷2=8
×=8

y=5
x=8
hope this helps, if needed a picture for better understanding,please comment.

What is the solution for the =.

liq [111]

Answer:

solution for n is $\frac{-13}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation containing one variable n.

The equation is as follows:

$\frac{-5}{2} =\frac{3}{4} +n$

To solve for n we can subtract 3/4 from both the sides

The result is

$\frac{-5}{2} -\frac{3}{4} =n\\Take LCD as 4\\\\frac{-10-3}{4} =n$

Verify:

Substitute the answer in the given equation.

$\frac{-5}{2} =\frac{3}{4} -(\frac{13}{4} )$

Both sides equal thus proving our correctness of answer.

Find the solution to the system of equations

Neko [114]

Answer:

x=1

y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since -x-3=y subsitue that in at the top equation

$- x - 3 = - 7x + 3$

$- x = - 7x + 6$

$6x = 6$

$x = 1$

Plug x=1 back into the equation to solve for y.

$y = - 7(1) + 3$

$y = - 4$

Amy: x skirts Betty: 2x skirts Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation: [(2x) + 7] - 18 = x +18 +18 (2x) + 7 = x + 18 - 7 -7 2x = x + 11 -x -x x = 11 Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check. Amy: 11 Betty: 2(x) 2(11) =22 Carol: (2x) + 7 22 + 7 =29 Does Amy have 18 less than Carol? Carol - Amy = 18 29 - 11 = 18 18 = 18 the problem is solved
