Convention in algebra is that we use letters such as a, b, c, etc., for parameters and letters such as x, y z, and so on, for variables.
Thus the parameters here are a, b and k. k is the constant of proportionality.
X = 213.075
First you have to get rid of the 4 and since it’s multiplying you to the opposite and that’s dividing.
-3.7 divided by 4 = -0.925
X - 214 = -0. 925
Then you add 214 to -0.925 and get 213.075
Answer:
x = 1 and y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use substitution because you know that x = y - 4, and plug this into the first equation to get -10(y - 4) + 3y = 5, or -10y + 40 + 3y = 5. This is -7y = -35 so y = 5. Plug this into the 2nd equation to get that x = 1 and y = 5.
