Answer:
x=5, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
You simply write down what you see:
3x - 4y + 4x - 5y = 17
2x - 3y + 3x - 5y = 9
Then you simplify by grouping the x and the y terms:
7x - 9y = 17
5x - 8y = 9
Now you want to get equal amounts of x or y. Let's go for x. If we multiply the top eq with 5 and the bottom one with -7, we get:
35x - 45y = 85
-35x + 56y = -63
-------------------------+ now we can add them:
11y = 22 divide by -11
y = 2
So 7x - 18 = 17, x =5
Finally, it makes sense to double check by filling in these answers in the original equations, just to see if no mistakes were made:
3*5 - 4*2 = 7
4*5 - 5*2 = 10
7+10 = 17: ok!
2*5 - 3*2 = 4
3*5 - 5*2 = 5
4+5 = 9: ok!
Answer:
x- 3y - 7=0
Step-by-step explanation:
the line in the slope-intercept form:
m= 1/3 and point given (1, -2) by using which we find y-intercept:
- b= y-1/3x
- b= -2- 1/3*1= - 7/3
General form of a line is: ax+by+c= 0
converting:
- y= 1/3x- 7/3 ⇒ 3y= x- 7 ⇒ x- 3y - 7=0
12/9 is bigger. It’s 1.333~
Answer:
3(15x-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
X = 20
First, you move the 40 to the other side.
-2x=-40
Then, you divided -40 by -2.
x= -40/-2
x= 20
x is 20 because the negatives cancel out making it positive.
