50x+30y= 550 what is x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<u>x = 8 and y = 5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

what is x and y for the following system of equations:

50x + 30 y = 550 ⇒ (1)

44x + 36 y = 532 ⇒ (2)

Subtract (1) - (2)

∴ 6x - 6y = 18

Divide both sides by 6

∴ x - y = 3

∴ x = 3 + y  ⇒ (3)

Substitute with the value of x at (1)

50(3+y) + 30y = 550

Solve for y

150 + 50y + 30y = 550

80y = 550 - 150 = 400

∴ y = 400/80 = 5

Substitute with the value of y at (3)

∴ x = 3 + y = 3 + 5 = 8

<u>So, x = 8 and y = 5</u>

3x+5y=-3 x-5y=-5 show your work
frez [133]
We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.

Both equations have a 5y  term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.

3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8

The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.

4x = -8

\frac{4x}{(4)} = \frac{-8}{(4)}

x = -2

Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.

(-2) - 5y = -5

-5y = -3

y = 3/5

Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)

What is the length of chord An in Oo below?
Anika [276]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In\: \odot O,

  • chords \overline{ML} and \overline{AN} are equidistant (7.2 units) from the center of the circle O.
  • Measures of the chords equidistant from the center of the circle are equal.
  • \therefore m(chord\:\overline{AN}) =m(chord\:\overline{ML})
  • \because m(chord\:\overline{ML}) = 12\: units
  • \therefore m(chord\:\overline{AN}) = 12\: units
