First, let's multiply the first equation by two on the both sides:
<span>8x + 7y = 39         /2
</span>⇒ 16x + 14y = 78

Now, the system is:
<span>16x + 14y = 78
</span><span>4x – 14y = –68
</span>
After adding this up in the column:
(16x + 4x) + (14y - 14y) = 78 - 68
20x = 10
⇒ x = 10/20 = 1/2


y can be calculated by replacin the x:
<span>8x + 7y = 39
</span>⇒ 8 · 1/2 + 7y = 39
4 + 7y = 39
7y = 39 - 4
7y = 35
⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5

Answer:

Multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding the equations results in 20x = 10. The solution of the system is (1/2, 5). The system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 is formed by replacing 4x –14y = –68 by a sum of it and a multiple of 8x + 7y = 39.

Sample Response: Using the linear combination method, you can multiply the first equation by 2 and add the equations to get 20x = 10. Dividing both sides by 20, x = 1/2. To solve for y, substitute 1/2 for x in the equation 8x + 7y = 39 to get 4 + 7y = 39. Solving this equation, y = 5. Checking this in the other equation, 4(1/2) – 14(5) = –68 results in 2 – 70 = –68 or –68 = –68. The solution of the system shown is (1/2, 5). The system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 is formed by replacing 4x –14y = –68 by a sum of it and a multiple of 8x + 7y = 39. Since 20(1/2) = 10, the system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 also has a solution of (1/2, 5).

Cannonballs are stacked In a pyramid shape with a base of 5 cannonballs on a side. How many cannonballs in all are in the stack
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The total number of balls in the pyramid will be 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cannonballs are stacked In a pyramid shape with a base of 5 cannonballs on a side.

Therefore, at the base, the number of balls is 5².

In the layer above the base layer, there are 4 balls on each side.

So, in the layer above the base layer, the number of balls is 4².

Similarly, in the next levels, the number of balls will be 3², 2² and 1.

Therefore, the total number of balls in the pyramid will be (5² + 4² + 3² + 2² + 1) = 55. (Answer)
