Answer:
x = 9/25
y = 7/25
z = 4/25
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 1 .......(1)
3y + z = 1 ........(2)
x + 4z = 1 ........(3)
Elimination 1 and 2
2x + y = 1 | ×3 |
3y + z = 1 | ×1 |
6x + 3y = 3
3y + z = 1
___________--
6x - z = 2 .............. (4)
Elimination 3 and 4
x + 4z = 1 | ×6 |
6x - z = 2 | ×1 |
6x + 24z = 6
6x - z = 2
___________--
25z = 4
z = 4/25
Elimination 3 and 4
x + 4z = 1 | ×1 |
6x - z = 2 | ×4 |
x + 4z = 1
24x - 4z = 8
___________+
25x = 9
x = 9/25
Subsitution 1
2x + y = 1
2(9/25) + y = 1
18/25 + y = 1
y = 1 - 18/25
y = 25/25 - 18/25
y = 7/25
Answer:
Y=3x+2, Y= -3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need a consistent (parallel) line you must have very similar equations, with only positives and negatives being changed. If it's Y=3x+2, only the 2 is changed from negative to positive changing the lines position. If it's Y= -3x-2 then the X value is moved to a different coordinate and the -2 keeps the change.

Answer: there are eight bicycles and 7 tricycles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of bicycles that are there.
Let y represent the number of tricycles that are there.
There are a total of 15 bicycles and tricycles. This means that
x + y = 15
A bicycle has 2 wheels and a tricycle has 3 wheels. There are 37 wheels all together if we count them up. This means that
2x + 3y = 37- - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(15 - y) + 3y = 37
30 - 2y + 3y = 37
- 2y + 3y = 37 - 30
y = 7
x = 15 - y = 15 - 7
x = 8
