Find three consecutive odd integral such that the sum of seven times the smallest and twice the largest is -91
Answer:
Hi There the correct answer is {x,y} = {-1,-10}
System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] 3x - y = 7
[2] 4x - 2y = 16
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
y + 3x = 7 -2y + 4x = 16
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 3x - 7
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] 4x - 2•(3x-7) = 16
[2] -2x = 2
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 2x = - 2
[2] x = - 1
// By now we know this much :
x = -1
y = 3x-7
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 3(-1)-7 = -10
Solution :
{x,y} = {-1,-10}
Hope it helps!
