Answer:

x=2, y=0. (2, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=2

2.5x+y=5

---------------

x=y+2

2.5(y+2)+y=5

2.5y+5+y=5

3.5y=5-5

3.5y=0

y=0/3.5

y=0

x=0+2=2

Simultaneous equations 5x+y=28 x+y=2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x + y = 28$

$x + y = 8$

Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign

$5x + y = 28$

$y = 2 - x$

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

$5x + 2 - x = 28$

Solve the equation for x

Collect like terms

$4x + 2 = 28$

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

$4x = 28 - 2$

Subtract the numbers

$4x = 26$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{26}{4}$

Calculate

$x = \frac{26}{4}$

Reduce the numbers with 2

$x = \frac{13}{2}$

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

$y = 2 - \frac{13}{2}$

Solve the equation for y

$y = - \frac{9}{2}$

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:

plug the value of x and y in both equation

$5 \times \frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 28$

$\frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 2$

Simplify the equalities

$28 = 28$

$2 = 2$

Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

$(x \:, y \: ) = ( \frac{13}{2} \: , - \frac{9}{2})$

Hope this helps....

Best regards!!

What are two ratios that are equivalent to 9/12

Gnom [1K]

Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3

Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4

So 9/12 reduces to 3/4

In other words, 9/12 = 3/4

--------------------------------------

Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5

3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20

So 3/4 = 15/20

--------------------------------------

So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.

In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
