how to solve quations using subsitution. The equation I need to solve is 2x+y=5 -3x+2y=17 please explain it in detail thank you

We have a system of 2 linear equations with 2 unknown, so we can solve it:
 2x + y = 5
-3x + 2y = 17
We'll use substitution, so lets solve for y in the first equation and substitute that in the second afterwards:
y = 5 - 2x
-3x + 2(5 - 2x) = 17
-3x + 10 - 4x = 17
-7x = 7
x = -1
then substitute in the original equation to find y:
y = 5 - 2x = 5 - 2(-1)
= 5 + 2
y = 7

V125BC [204]

Answer:

24 pieces of fruits are use to make 2 fruit salads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ken uses 6 apples and 2 bananas to make a fruit salad. He put twice as many oranges as bananas in the salad.

Now, to find the number of pieces of fruit Ken will use to make 2 fruit salads.

So, pieces of fruits use to make a salad are:

Apples = 6.

Bananas = 2.

Oranges = twice of bananas = 2×2=4.

So, total pieces of fruits to make a salad = $6+2+4=12.$

Now, total pieces of fruits to make 2 fruit salads:

$(6+2+4)\times 2$

$=12\times 2$

$=24.$

Therefore, 24 pieces of fruits are use to make 2 fruit salads.

What is the length of side x? (possibly use similar triangles)

Law of Sines

$\frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b}$

$\frac{sin(90)}{14.6} = \frac{sin(45)}{x}$

Cross multiply

x*sin(90) = 14.6sin(45)

x = 14.6sin(45)

x = 10.3

A pilot can travel for 140 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the w

quester [9]

Answer:

-88 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relation ...

time = distance/speed

to compare the times in the two directions.

$\dfrac{140}{200+w}=\dfrac{360}{200-w}\\\\140(200-w)=360(200+w)\\\\200(140-360)=w(360+140)\\\\w=\dfrac{200(-220)}{500}=-88 \quad\text{miles per hour}$

The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.

_____

The problem statement tells us the travel is slower with the wind than against the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.
