5x=4y+8 3y=3x-3 using elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago
8 0
Let's rewrite the equation with x and y on the left side of the equal sign.  
5x-4y=8 --------(1) 
3x-3y=3---------(2)  
Divide equation (2) by 3, 
x - y= 1 
now we have, 
5x-4y = 8 --------(1) 
x - y = 1 ---------(2)  
To eliminate x, multiply equation (2) by 5. This makes both the coefficients of x to be 5. Subtract the second equation from the first equation.  
5x - 4y = 8 
(2) * 5 5x - 5y = 5 
(-) (+) (-) 
---------------- 
 0x +y =3
 Therefore, y=3 
 Substitute the value of y, in any one of the two equations. Let's substitute y in the second equation.
 x-3=1
 x=4 
 x=4 and y=3

What is the solution set of 2x2-3x=5
Kryger [21]

You use the quadratic formula:

2x {}^{2} - 3x = 5

2x {}^{2} - 3x - 5 = 0

x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{9 -4(2)( - 5)}}{2 \times 2}  

x = \frac{3 + - \sqrt{49} }{4}  

x = \frac{3 + 7}{4} \: and \: x = \frac{3 - 7}{4}  

x = \frac{5}{2} \: and \: x = - 1

If 50% of a number is 150 and 30% of the same number is 90, find 80% of that number.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 50% of the number is 150 so we can assume the number is 300(if its 50% just double that number). Next we use the equation 0.80 x 300 which gives us the answer 240.

Hope I helped
