Without calculating, you can immediately see the absolute value sign, which implies that the final result (x) should be positive, not negative.

Solve the system of equations by substitution 3x+y=9z
poizon [28]

Answer:

x = 1.27

y = 5.18

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of  equation by simultaneous equation we say that let

3x+y=9.............................. equation 1

-5x+2y=4 .......................... equation 2

from equation 1

3x+y=9.............................. equation 1

y = 9 -3x.............................. equation 3

substitute the value of y = 9 -3x into equation 2

-5x+2y=4 .......................... equation 2

-5x + 2( 9 -3x) = 4

-5x + 18 - 6x = 4

collect the like terms

18 - 4 = 6x + 5x

14 = 11x

divide both side by 11

14/11 = 11x/11

x = 14/11

x = 1.27

put the value of x = 1.27 into  equation 3

y = 9 -3x.............................. equation 3

y = 9 - 3( 1.27)

y = 9 - 3.82

y = 5.18

<em>to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into either equation 1 or equation 2.</em>

<em>3x+y=9.............................. equation 1</em>

<em>3( 1.27) + 5.18 = 9</em>

<em>3.81 + 5.18 = 9</em>

<em>9 = 9</em>
