Ur gonna have to pick an equation and solve for a variable.
2x - 2y = 6
2x = 2y + 6 ...divide everything by 2 because u want x by itself
x = y + 3
now we sub y + 3 in for x in the other equation
14x - 2y = 78
14(y + 3) - 2y = 78...distribute thru the parenthesis
14y + 42 - 2y = 78...subtract 42 from both sides, cancelling the 42 on the left
-42 -42
-----------------------
14y - 2y = 36 ...simplify
12y = 36...divide by 12 on both sides, cancelling out the 12 on the left
y = 36/12
y = 3
now , we already know that x = y + 3...and we know y = 3...so sub in 3 for y and solve for x
x = y + 3
x = 3 + 3
x = 6
solution is (6,3)
it is always a good idea to check ur answer by subbing it into one or both of the equations to see if it is correct
2x - 2y = 6......(6,3)...x = 6 and y = 3
2(6) - 2(3) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 (correct)
so yes, ur solution is (6,3)
Hi!
There might be different variations into how anyone would approach this problem but this is by far an easy way for me.
In order to solve fractional relationships with a variable, a perfect way to solve them would be to cross multiply and make them equal to each other.
You see the part '3y+12', and when you criss cross over to the other side of the equation, you get three. Multiply that together.
When you see the part '6', when you glide diagonally, you find '4y'. Multiply this together as well. Make them equal to each other.
(<em>This is how you do cross multiplication.)</em>
You should get something like this:
3(3y+12)=6(4y) Distribute the three on the left side and multiply. Do the same on the right.
9y+36=24y Now, you can combine like terms by subtracting 9y to the other side.
36=15y Isolate y and divide it by 15.
y=2.4
I was unclear of the answer, so I plugged in 2.4 into the original equation where the y variable was, and got the right answer, so 2.4 should be the correct one no matter how you got it.
I hope this helped!
Answer:
(8, 8200)
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you got it right, the point (8, 8200) is that of a collectors item car, that has not changed much its original price of about £10,000 (at year zero), having a value of £8,200 8 years later.
If you are doing division, you should be able to turn the equation around as a fact family, making it multiplication. All you need to do is 17x73=y.
y=1241
