How do I use substitution to solve a system of linear equations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

the substitution method is one way to solve linear equation. the substitution method is when substitute the one y value with the other:

example :

x+y=10

y=10-x ( value of y)

2x+y=12 ( substitute the value of y in the equation )

2x+(10-x)=12

2x+10-x=12 ( now solve for x)

x=12-10

x=2 ( substitute the value of x in the equation x+y=10)

x+y=10

2+y=10

y=10-2

y=8

( i hope it helps)

Carly placed 50 marbles in a bag. Fifteen of the marbles are pink, 8 marbles are black,
yuradex [85]

When you go into this problem, you want to figure out your marble ammount to 50 so in this case we will say C for color and 50 for the total ammount of marbles.

We know 15 are pink, 8 are black, 2 are green, 18 are clear, and 7 are striped

15P/50

8B/50

2G/50

18C/50

7S/50 for a total of 50 marbles

Now we use the chart to decide our awnsers  

A. We know our propability of drawing a green and clear is 20/50 which if we simplify is a 2/5 ratio. If We put this in perspective 2/5 is rare and is unlikley to even.

B. We know a striped marble is 18/50 or 1.8/5 ratio which is mainly unlikely

C. We have 23/50 marbles that are black and pink, our propability is about 2.3/5 and gives us an even chance to get one of these

D. We know we have 33/50 marbles that are pink and clear and gives us a 3.3/5 chance of getting one of  these and gives us an even to likely chance of getting one of these.

E. If we have a total of 17 marbles in these 3 colors, we have a 1.7/5 chance of getting one of these and is probably impossible to unlikey.

Mom put plums and apples onto a plate. The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2. How many fruit did mom
Delvig [45]

Answer:

30 fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of plums on the plate

y ----> number of apples on the plate

we know that

The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2

so

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5y ----> equation A

After Ed took 6 plums from the plate, the number of plums remaining on the plate became the same as the number of apples

so

x-6=y ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

1.5y-6=y

solve for y

1.5y-y=6\\0.5y=6\\y=12

Find the value of x

x=1.5(12)=18

therefore

Mon put on the table

x+y=18+12=30\ fruits
