4x - y = 3

y = 2x + 13


Substitute the second equation into the first equation:

4x - y = 3  [since y = 2x + 13, you can substitute (2x + 13) for "y" in the equation]

4x - (2x + 13) = 3    Distribute/multiply - into (2x + 13)

4x - 2x - 13 = 3  

2x - 13 = 3       Add 13 on both sides

2x = 16     Divide 2 on both sides

x = 8


Now that you know x = 8, plug it into one of the equations to find y

y = 2x + 13

y = 2(8) + 13

y = 16 + 13

y = 29


x = 8, y = 29  or  (8, 29)


[proof]

4x - y = 3

4(8) - 29 = 3

32 - 29 = 3

3 = 3


y = 2x + 13

29 = 2(8) + 13

29 = 16 + 13

29 = 29

My teacher wanted us to try this out, but I don't understand it as much.
statuscvo [17]

solve for the indicated variable means isolate that variable.

Ans(7)

P=IRT (T)

that means solve for T or make T alone on one side of equal.

To do that we just need to move IR on the left side

So we get:

\frac{P}{IR}=T

Hence final answer will be T=\frac{P}{IR}

Ans(8)

2x-3y=8  (y)

-3y=8-2x

y=\frac{8-2x}{-3}


------------

Ans(9)

V=LWH  (L)

L=\frac{V}{WH}


------------

Ans(10)

A=2(L+W)  (w)

A=2L+2W

A-2L=2W

\frac{A-2L}{2}=W

W=\frac{A-2L}{2}


------------

Ans(11)

ax+by=c  (y)

by=c-ax

y=\frac{c-ax}{b}


------------

Ans(12)

P=\frac{R-C}{N} (R)

PN=R-C

PN+C=R

R=PN+C

A basketball game a team made 52 successful shots they were a combination of 1- and 2- point shots the team scored 86 points in
jasenka [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

x = one point shots

y = two point shots

 

1) Setup your equations.

 

x + y = 52

x + 2y = 89

 

2) Isolate a variable.

 

x = 52-y

 

3) Plug in.

 

(52-y) + 2y = 89

52 +y =89

y=37

 

4) Solve for x.

 

x = 52 -37

x=15

 

5) Check your answer.

 

15 + 2(37) = 89

15+74=89

89=89

 

37+15 = 52

52=52

x = one point shots

y = two point shots

 

1) Setup your equations.

 

x + y = 52

x + 2y = 89

 

2) Isolate a variable.

 

x = 52-y

 

3) Plug in.

 

(52-y) + 2y = 89

52 +y =89

y=37

 

4) Solve for x.

 

x = 52 -37

x=15

 

5) Check your answer.

 

15 + 2(37) = 89

15+74=89

89=89

 

37+15 = 52

52=52

2(3x + 6) = 3( x - 9)​
12345 [234]

Answer:

x= - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+6) = 3(x-9)

6x+12 = 3x -27

-3x        -3x

3x+12=-27

    -12   -12

3x= -39

/3     /3

x= - 13
