System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] y - 2x/3 = -1
[2] y + x = 4
// To remove fractions, multiply equations by their respective LCD
Multiply equation [1] by 3
// Equations now take the shape:
[1] 3y - 2x = -3
[2] y + x = 4
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-2x + 3y = -3 x + y = 4
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = -y + 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 3y - 2•(-y +4) = -3
[1] 5y = 5
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 5y = 5
[1] y = 1
// By now we know this much :
y = 1
x = -y+4
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -(1)+4 = 3
I hope this help you
Answer:
what is the question?
do you have to find how much she is investing?
Answer:
x = 4 , y = ⅕
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y = 9 (1)
3x - 5y = 11 (2)
Add (1) and (2)
5x = 20
x = 4
Using (1), find y
2(4) + 5y = 9
5y = 1
y = ⅕
1/9 of total marbles = 1/9 × 36 = 4
so Alexis gave 4 marbles to Sara.
And so Alexis is left behind with 32 (36-4) marbles and so Sara have 4 marbles now
