Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1.)   0.4x-2.5=1.3x+4.7

Step 2.)  -2.5=1.3x-0.4x+4.7

Step 3.)   -2.5=0.9x+4.7

Step 4.)   -2.5-4.7=0.9x

Step 5.)   -7.2=0.9x

Step 6.)    -7.2/0.9=x

Step 7.)    -8=x

Simplifying
0.4x + -2.5 = 1.3x + 4.7

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 0.4x = 1.3x + 4.7

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 0.4x = 4.7 + 1.3x

Solving
-2.5 + 0.4x = 4.7 + 1.3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.3x' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 0.4x + -1.3x = 4.7 + 1.3x + -1.3x

Combine like terms: 0.4x + -1.3x = -0.9x
-2.5 + -0.9x = 4.7 + 1.3x + -1.3x

Combine like terms: 1.3x + -1.3x = 0.0
-2.5 + -0.9x = 4.7 + 0.0
-2.5 + -0.9x = 4.7

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 2.5 + -0.9x = 4.7 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.9x = 4.7 + 2.5
-0.9x = 4.7 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 4.7 + 2.5 = 7.2
-0.9x = 7.2

Divide each side by '-0.9'.
x = -8

Simplifying
x = -8

2 oranges and 3 lemons cost 64p 3 oranges and 4 lemons cot 89p whats the cost of an orange?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The cost of an orange is 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let orange be O and lemon be L

it becomes simultaneous Equations

2O+3L=64----1. x3

3O+4L=89----2. x2

6O+12L=192

6O+8L=178

subtracting

4L=14

L=7

put 7 for L in equ 1

2O+3(7)=64

2O+21=64

2O=64-21

2O=43

O=21.5

Please help me solve each system by elimination?
alexdok [17]
<span>1)
-4x-8y=16
8x+16y=-16

Multiply fhe first equation by 2:

=> -8x - 16y = 32

Add this new equation with previous second equation

0 = 16, which means that the system has no solutions.

2)

4x-10y=-14
3x+8y=-26
</span>
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by - 4:

 12x - 30y =   - 42
-12x - 32y =   104

Add the two new equations
-------------------------
0 - 62y = 62

=> y = -1

replacing in the first equation:

=> <span> 4x-10(-1) = -14</span>

=> 4x + 10 = - 14

=> 4x = - 14 - 10

=> 4x = - 24

=> x = - 24 / 4

=> x = - 6

Answer: x = - 6 and y = - 1

PLEASE HELP FINDING y IN TRIANGLE AND ROUND TO NEAREST TENTH TRIG!! HELP ASAP APLEASE
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

<em>y = 12.3 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use sin,cos, or tan to solve this.

First, with respect to the angle 35 degrees, we can say "y" is the "adjacent side".

Also, the hypotenuse is given as 15.

<em>Which trig ratio relates adjacent and hypotenuse? That is COS. So we can write and solve the equation below:</em>

<em>Cos(35)=\frac{y}{15}\\y=Cos(35)*15\\y=12.29</em>

<em />

<em>Rounded to 1 decimal place (nearest tenth) , </em>

<em>y = 12.3 cm</em>
