Use elimination to solve each system of equations. 1/3x-y=-1 and 1/5x-2/5y=-1

Mathematics

Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago

Answer:

x=−9 and y=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2,and multiply the second equation by -5.

2(1/3x−y=−1)

−5(1/5x−2/5y=−1)

Becomes: 2/3x−2y=−2

−x+2y=5

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−1/3  x=3

Then solve −1/3x=3 for x:

−1/3x        3

−1/3    = −1/3

(Divide both sides by (-1)/3)

x=−9

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

1/3x−y=−1

Substitute−9 for x in 1/3x−y=−1:

1/3(−9)−y=−1

−y−3=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−y−3+3=−1+3(Add 3 to both sides)

−y=2

−y

−1=

2

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

y=−2

Mr. Johnson currently has a square garden. He wants to redesign his garden and make it into a rectangle with a length that is 5
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Width of the rectangle = 10 feet

Length of the rectangle = 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Let

Width of the rectangle = x feet

Length of the rectangle = 3x - 5 feet

Perimeter of the rectangle = 70 feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

70 = 2{x + (3x - 5)}

70 = 2{x + 3x - 5}

70 = 2(4x - 5)

70 = 8x - 10

70 + 10 = 8x

80 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

x = 80 / 8

= 10

Width of the rectangle = 10 feet

Length of the rectangle = 3(10) - 5

= 30 - 5

= 25 feet
