8x + 3y = 20.50
-
4x+5y=22.50
=
4x-2y=-2, so you have to divide each number by 2, then
2x-y=-1, so

-y=-1-2x /-1, y=1+2x, then replace it with one original equation like the first one for instance:
8x+3(1+2x)=20.50, then
8x+3+6x=20.50, then
14x=20.50-3
14x=17.5
x=1.25, then solve y:\
y=1+2*(1.25)
y=1+2.5
y=3.5,
So answer is x=1.25, and y=3.5

Plz Help!!!! <br>Solve for x<br>3y = 4x+ 1 ​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION

3y=4x+1

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

4x+1=3y

Subtract 1 from both sides.

4x=3y−1

Divide both sides by 4.

4

4x

​

=  

4

3y−1

​

 

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

x=  

4

3y−1

What four consecutive intergers have a sum of -34
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

-7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer = k

So, the next three consecutive integers are ( k+1), ((k + 1) + 1)  and (((k + 1) + 1) +1)

or, k , (k +1), (k +2) and (k +3) are four consecutive integers.

Now, their sum is -34.

⇒k   + (k +1) +  (k +2) +  (k +3)  = -34

or, 4k  + 6 = -34

or, 4k = - 34 - 6 = -40

⇒  k = -40/ 4 = -10

Hence, the first integer k = -10

The next integer = k + 1 = -10 + 1 = -9

Similarly next two integers are -8 and - 7.

So -7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.
