Mathematics

kotegsom [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

2x +3y=1⇒equation 1

3x=2y+8

3x-2y=8⇒equation 2

by elimination method,

2x+3y=1 ×2

3x-2y=8 ×3

4x+6y=2

9x-6y=24

cut 6y and -6y

4x+6y=2

9x-6y=24

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

13x+0=26

13x=26

x=26/13

x=2

substitute x=2 in equation 1

2(2)+3y=1

4+3y=1

3y=1-4

3y=-3

y=-3/3

y=-1

therefore, x=2 and y=-1

hope it helps u!

1. Explain in a complete sentence if the point (2, -4) is the solution to the system of equations. x + y = -2 2x – y = 8
Temka [501]
So, it says x + y = -2
we just plug in the numbers so,
2 + - 4 = -2
This equation is true and can also be written as
2 - 4 = -2

It also then says that 2x - y = 8
Again, you just plug in the numbers
2 * 2 - (-4) = 8 
This equation is true and can also be writen as,
2*2 + 4 = 8

just olya [345]

Answer:

18.7 wreaths

Step-by-step explanation:

Beverly makes wreaths to sell for the fall season. She picked 430 pine cones from the wooded area near her house. If she uses 23 pine cones per wreath, how many wreaths can she make?

From the above question:

23 pine cones = 1 wreath

430 pine cones = x wreaths

Cross Multiply

23 pine cones × x wreaths = 430 pine cones × 1 wreath

x wreaths = 430 pine cones × 1 wreath/23 pine cones

x wreaths = 18.695652174 wreaths

Approximately = 18.7 wreaths

The variables Y and X have a proportional relationship, and y=12 when x=5. What is value of y when x =8? Enter your answer in th
kkurt [141]

Answer:

y=19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here as y is proportional to x

so

y=kx

When y = 12 , x = 5

We have

12 = 5k

k=\frac{12}{5}=2.4

So now we have

y=2.4x

When x = 8

y = 2.4(8)

y = 19.2
