2x+3y=6 x+2y=5 elimination

1 answer:

4 0

In this equation you can eliminate the x value
multiply the second equation by -2 and you get:
-2x - 2y = -10
when you add the two equations the x factors will cancel

2x + 3y = 6
- 2x - 2y = -10
---------------------
y = 16

you can find the x value by plugging the y value that you now know into one of the equations that you started off with.

Zahra compares two wireless data plans. Which equation gives the correct value of n, the number of GB, for which Plans A and B c

Elden [556K]

The equation which gives the correct value of n, the number of GB, for which Plans A and B cost the same is 8n = 20 + 6(n-2)

To determine which equation gives the correct value of n, the number of GB, for which Plans A and B cost the same, we will first solve the equations.

For the first equation

8n = 20 + 6n

Collect like terms

8n - 6n = 20

2n = 20

Then, n = 20 ÷ 2

n = 10 GB

For Plan A

No initial fee and $8 for each GB

Here, 10GB will cost 10 × $8 = $80

For Plan B

$20 for the first 2GB and $6 for each additional GB after the first 2

Here, 10GB will cost $20 + (8 × $6) = $20 + $48 = $68

∴ Plans A and B do not cost the same here.

For the second equation

8n = 20(2n) + 6

First, clear the bracket

8n = 40n + 6

Now, collect like terms

40n - 8n = 6

42n = 6

∴ n = 6 ÷ 42

n = 1/7 GB

For Plan A

No initial fee and $8 for each GB

Here, 1/7GB will cost 1/7 × $8 = $1.14

For Plan B

$20 for the first 2GB and $6 for each additional GB after the first 2

Here, 1/7GB will cost $20 (Since the lowest cost is $20)

∴ Plans A and B do not cost the same here.

For the third equation

8n = 20 + 6(n-2)

First, clear the brackets

8n = 20 + 6n - 12

Now, collect like terms

8n - 6n = 20 - 12

2n = 8

n = 8 ÷ 2

n = 4 GB

For Plan A

No initial fee and $8 for each GB

Here, 4GB will cost 4× $8 = $32

For Plan B

$20 for the first 2GB and $6 for each additional GB after the first 2

Here, 4GB will cost $20 + (2 × $6) = $20 + $12 = $32

Plans A and B do not cost the same here.

∴ Plans A and B do cost the same here

For the fourth equation

8n = 20 + 2n + 6

Collect like terms

8n - 2n = 20 + 6

6n = 26

n = $\frac{26}{6}$

n = $\frac{13}{3}$ GB or $4\frac{1}{3}$ GB

For Plan A

No initial fee and $8 for each GB

Here, $\frac{13}{3}$ GB will cost $\frac{13}{3}$ × $8 = $34.67

For Plan B

$20 for the first 2GB and $6 for each additional GB after the first 2

Here, $4\frac{1}{3}$ GB will cost $20 + ( $2\frac{1}{3}$ × $6) = $20 + $14 = $34

∴ Plans A and B do not cost the same here.

Hence, the equation which gives the correct value of n, the number of GB, for which Plans A and B cost the same is 8n = 20 + 6(n-2)
