Since the first equation is already set up as x= use it to plug into the second equation.
x + 2y = 8
(y -1) + 2y = 8
y -1 + 2y = 8
3y -1 = 8
Add 1 to both sides
3y = 9
Divide both sides by 3
y = 3
Use x = y - 1 to solve for x
x = 3 - 1
x = 2
(2,3)

The answer is
y=3
x=2

Also, substitution is just a type of method to solve for x and y.

Solve the system of equations using the addition method.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

A) 5x - 2y = 12

B) 3x + 2y = 36 Adding both equations eliminates "y"

8x = 48

x = 6 Putting x=6 into equation B we get

3*6 + 2y = 36

2y = 18

y = 9

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = $5\frac{1}{3}\ feet$

Width of the box = $3\frac{3}{4}\ feet$

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+w)$

where $l$ represents length of rectangle and $w$ represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = $2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet$

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒ $2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet$ (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒ $2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

Whole number 8 can be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

⇒ $2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒ $2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12})$ feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒ $2(\frac{96+4+9}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{109}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2\times \frac{109}{12}$ feet

⇒ $\frac{218}{12}$ feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ $18\frac{2}{12}$ feet
