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>

You have the proportion

1/(3b) = 4/5        

Cross multiply to get rid of the fractions...

5 = 12b                now solve for b

5/12 = b                 (divide by 12 on both sides)

HELP ME PLEASE PLEASE
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The value of x is 7 and y is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are :

- 3x + y =  - 7 -  -  - (1)

y = x + 7 -  -  - (2)

(2)→(1)

- 3x + (x + 7) =  - 7 \\  - 3x + x + 7 =  - 7 \\  - 2x =  - 14 \\ x = 7

substitute \: x = 7 \:  \: into \:  \: (2)

y = 7 + 7 \\ y = 14
