Answer: (-4, -1)
This means x = -4 and y = -1 pair up together.
======================================================
You're on the right track. You'll replace the 'x' with 3y-1, but you made a typo. I think you meant to write the subtraction symbol instead of the equal sign.
Here's what your steps could look like
-2x + 5y = 3
-2(3y-1) + 5y = 3
-6y + 2 + 5y = 3
-y + 2 = 3
-y = 3-2
-y = 1
y = -1
x = 3y-1
x = 3(-1) - 1
x = -3-1
x = -4
Therefore, (x, y) = (-4, -1) is the solution
-------------------
As the steps above show, I replaced each copy of x in the second equation with (3y-1). This is due to x = 3y-1. From there, we isolate y. Once you determine that y = -1, it's plugged into the first equation to find x.
If you were to graph x = 3y-1 and -2x+5y = 3 on the same xy coordinate grid, then the two lines would intersect at (-4, -1)
Also, note how plugging x = -4 and y = -1 into the second equation leads to...
-2x+5y = 3
-2(-4)+5(-1) = 3
8 - 5 = 3
3 = 3
We get the same value on both sides, so that verifies the second equation. I'll let you verify the first equation.
(-8.6)+7.2= -1.4
Think of it as 8.6-7.2 and carry down the negative sign.
Julie would reach her goal first. Julie would reach her goal in approximately 316 days while it would take Mary approximately 333 days to reach it.
I know this because the steps to solve the problem are:
1.) 1,000/12 = 83.333 (to find how many days it would take her everyday)
2.) 83.333x4 = 333 (multiplying the answer by four makes it every four days)
3.) determine that it takes Mary 333 days
4.) 1,000/19 = 52.631 (just like step 1 but with different numbers)
5.) 52.631x6 = 316 (just like in step 2 but different numbers)
6.) determine it takes Julie 316 days
7.) 316 < 333 (takes Julie less time)
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying the 2 and the 5 by 3 will get you 6 and 14. 14 is not a factor of 5 making it incorrect.
