Solve the first equation for y.

3x+y=2

y=2-3x

Substitute

4x+(2-3x)=20

4x+2-3x=20

x=18

So you want to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations. Using the first equation, we can make 3x+y=2 y=2-3x.
Then plug y=2-3x into the second equation:
4x+(2-3x)=20
Then solve.
x+2=20
x=18
Finally, plug the x value back into any of the two equations to find y. This is essential to get full credit!
4(18)+y=20
72+y=20
y= -52

x=18
y= -52

The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit of a two-digit number is one-half.The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Number : 42

Step-by-step explanation:

This number will be a two - digit number, and hence we can say that it is yz. The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit is given by 1 / 2, so z / y = 1 / 2.

In addition the tens digit is 2 more than the units digit, so y = z + 2. We therefore have the following system of equations,

y = z + 2,

z / y = 1 / 2

Substituting the first equation into the second we receive z / z + 2 = 1 / 2. Using this we can solve for z.

z / z + 2 = 1 / 2 ( Cross - Multiply )

z + 2 = 2z, z = 2

And knowing z we can solve for y. y = z + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4. Therefore our number is 42.

Two trains leave towns 1490 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 20 km/h slower tha
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the rate of each train is 139 km/h and 159 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

let

v = the rate of the slower train

v + 20 = the rate of the faster train

d = 1490 km the distance that the two train will travel

t = 5 hr the time of the travel

since speed = distance/time => distance = speed*time

v*t + (v+20)t = d

5v + 5(v + 20) = 1490

5v+5(v+20)=1490

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5v+5(v+20)=1490

5v+(5)(v)+(5)(20)=1490(Distribute)

5v+5v+100=1490

(5v+5v)+(100)=1490(Combine Like Terms)

10v+100=1490

10v+100=1490

Step 2: Subtract 100 from both sides.

10v+100−100=1490−100

10v=1390

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.

10v/10 = 1390/10

v = 139km/h

Next

we add 139 to 20

139 + 20 = 159 km/h

the rate of each train is 139 km/h and 159 km/h.
