What is the solution to the system of equations x+y=10 and x+2y=4 using the linear combination method?

Mathematics

Elis [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The solution:

X = 16 and Y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations to be solved are:

x+y = 10 ------- equation 1

x+2y = 4 ----------- equation 2

we can multiply equation 1 by -1 to make the value of x and y negative.

This will give us

-x- y = - 10 ------- equation 3

x+2y = 4 ----------- equation 2

We will now add equations 3 and 2 together so that x will cancel itself out.

this will give us

y = -10 +4 = -6

hence, we have the value of y as -6.

To get the value of x, we can put this value of y into any of the equations above.  (I will use equation 1)

x - 6 = 10

from this, we have that x = 4

Therefore, we have our answer as

X = 16 and Y = -6

a bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. the bee stays at the flower bed for 15 minutes then fli
qaws [65]

Answer:

Assuming the question is asking how much time it takes each way, the answer would be 2 minutes from the hive to the flowerbed and 3 minutes back.

Assuming the question is the amount of distance between the hive and the flower bed, the answer is 1080 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the total amount of time it was away from the hive was 20 minutes. Out of those 20 minutes, 15 minutes were spent in the flowerbed. So that means travel time was 5 minutes. Now, going is 9 and coming back is 6, so 9+6=15, 5/15=1/3, 1/3*9=3 and 1/3*6=2

Knowing that information, lets solve what the question could be because I have no idea. The amount of distance from the hive to the flower bed is 1080 feet. I got this by doing 9 (the amount of feet per second) times 120 (the amount of seconds in 3 minutes.) You could do this with 6 but I found it easier to multiply 9*120 compared to 6*180.

If it's the commute time, we already solved that.

If I didn't answer the real question, please just comment on this.

A small water bottle holds 75% as much as a large water bottle.
Radda [10]
The answer is 48 units. You do 36 / 75% it is 48. You can also check your answer by doing 48 times 75%, which would equal 36.

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30%, percent of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains.
Pachacha [2.7K]
To answer this you need to figure out what 30% of the total number of carbs need to be whole-grain. Multiply 0.3 times 220 to get 66 grams. He did not meet his goal. Because he only ate 5 g, this is 61 less than he needs to meet his goal.
