-3x-4y=-2 and y=2x-5. What is y? *

Mathematics

givi [52]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to solve for x first, then y.

Plug the second equation (y = 2x - 5) into the first equation (-3x - 4y = -2).  This will give you -3x - 4(2x - 5) = -2.  Solve for x.

-3x - 4(2x - 5) = -2

-3x - 8x + 20 = -2

-11x = -22

x = 2

Now, you can plug in the x-value into the second equation.

y = 2(2) - 5

y = 4 - 5

y = -1

2<br>Decrease R420 in the ratio 4:7​
Oxana [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

I=prt,for p please show step by step for this variable
Bond [772]

Answer:

p = \dfrac{I}{rt}

Step-by-step explanation:

I = prt

Switch sides.

prt = I

We are solving for p. We want p alone on the left side. p is being multiplied by r and t, so we divide both sides by r and t.

\dfrac{prt}{rt} = \dfrac{I}{rt}

p = \dfrac{I}{rt}

If you can help me with this whole thing i will be forever in your dept
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Answer:

6 days

210 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

As stipulated by the question, let the number of days Amir has been reading be x and the number of pages he had read to be y.

Now since he reads 35 pages per day.

Then mathematically;

y = 35x

For Jesse, He started reading a day before, this means that the number of days he had read would be x + 1. Since he reads 30 per day, the total number of pages he would have read is 30(x+1)

To find the number of days which is x, we have to assume that at a point in time, the number of books they would have read would be the same meaning that

Also; y = 30(x + 1)

Equating the two situations

35x = 30(x + 1)

35x = 30x + 30

35x -30x = 30

5x = 30

x = 30/5

x = 6 days

This means that it will take Amir 6 days to catch Jese.

The number of books they would have read by then is y = 35x = 30(x + 1)

= 35 * 6 or 30(6+1)

= 210
