3x - 5y = 14 and – 2x + 2y = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]2 years ago

Answer:

x=5.6

y=-5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5y = 14 Equation 1

– 2x + 2y = 0 Equation 2

Simultaneous equation can be solved either through elimination method or substitution method. But we use elimination method for this question

Multiply equation 1 by -2 (the coefficient of x in equation 2) and multiply equation 2 with 3 (the coefficient of x in equation 1), so that x will have the same coefficient in the new equations, and easy to eliminate

-2(3x - 5y = 14)

-6x+10y=-28 Equation 3

3(– 2x + 2y = 0)

-6x+6y=0 Equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3 to eliminate x

-6x+10y=-28

-6x+6y=0

-6x-(-6x)=-6x+6x=0

10y-6y=5y

-28-0=-28

5y=-28

y=-28/5

y=-5.6

Substitute for y in equation 2

– 2x + 2y = 0

– 2x + 2(-5.6) = 0

-2x-11.2=0

-2x=11.2

x=-11.2/2

x=5.6

4. Can two lines be parallel and perpendicular? Explain.
lidiya [134]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to understand that parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. On the other hand, perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle.

However, lines can't be both parallel and perpendicular because they either intersect each other at a right angle or never intersect.

So no, two lines can't be both parallel and perpendicular.

What is the center and radius of the circle with equation (x - 2)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 100?
ololo11 [35]
Answer: 
Center = (2,5)
Radius = 10
Choice A

To find this answer, first write the equation 
(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 100
into 
(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 10^2

Note how the second equation is in the form
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

We see that (h,k) = (2,5) is the center
and r = 10 is the radius
