Answer:

x is all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

2(y-6)=3(y-4)-y

Distribute

2y - 12 = 3y-12 -y

Combine like terms

2y -12 = 2y -12

Subtract 2y from each side

2y-12-2y = 2y-12 -2y

-12 =-12

This is always true so there are infinite solutions

x is all real numbers

Giovanna,Frances, and their dad each carried a ten pound bag of soil into the back yard. After putting soil in the first flower

Greeley [361]

First find the common denominator
5/8=25/40
2/5=16/40
3/4=30/40
Next you can cross multiply
25/40=x/10 pounds
16/40=x/10 pounds
30/40=x/10 pounds
First
25(10)/40= 6.25 pounds
16(10)/40= 4pounds
30(10)/40= 7.5 pounds
These are the amounts that were left in the bag

10-6.25=3.75
10-4=6
10-7.5=2.5

3.75+6+2.5= 12.25

All together they put 12.25 pounds of soil in the flower bed

Solve the system by substitution. x= 2y + 7 3x – 2y = 3 The solution is?

seropon [69]

Hi there! Your answer is x = -2, y = -9/2

In coordinate point, we can write (-2,-9/2)

Please see the explanation below for a clear understand about the problem.

Any questions about the answer, feel free to ask in comment! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal

Solve the system of equations by substitution method.

Given

System of Equations

$\begin{cases} x=2y+7 \Longrightarrow (1)\\ 3x-2y=3 \Longrightarrow (2) \end{cases}$

Step 1

Since our x-term is the subject in the first equation, we can simply substitute x = 2y+7 in the second equation.

Substitute x = 2y+7 in the second equation.

$3x-2y=3\\3(2y+7)-2y=3$

We do this so we can solve for the y-term without any problems. (We need to get rid of a variable if there are more than one variable.)

Then we distribute/expand 3 in the expression.

$6y+21-2y=3\\4y+21=3$

Step 2

Solve the equation for y-term

To solve the equation, we have to isolate the term that we want. For this scenario, we want to know the value of y-term. Therefore, we isolate y-term.

$4y=3-21\\4y=-18\\y=-\frac{18}{4} \\y=-\frac{9}{2}$

Finally! we know the value of y which is -9/2. But we are not done yet!

Step 3

Substitute the y-value in any given equations.

After we solve the equation, we have to substitute the value in any given equations. No need to substitute the value in both equations! Choose an equation to substitute the value in.

For this, I will be choosing an equation with less coefficients which is the first equation.

$x=2y+7$

Substitute y = -9/2 in the equation.

$x=2(-\frac{9}{2})+7\\x=-9+7\\x=-2$

We should get x = -2 as the answer. This is our last step for finding an answer. The next few steps are going to be how to check the answer for system of equations. Note that next few steps are optional. If you are not certain that the answer is wrong or right, it is highly advised to check the answer before jumping to a conclusion!

Optional Steps - Answer Check

To check the answer, we can simply substitute both x-value and y-value in any given equations. You can either choose only a single equation to substitute in ONLY if you are certain/sure that the answer is likely correct. Substituting in both equations are recommended for beginners.

Step 3

Substitute x = -2 and y = -9/2 in the system of equations.

Step 3.1

Substitute in x = 2y+7

$x=2y+7$

From x = -2 and y = -9/2

$-2=2(-\frac{9}{2} )+7$

Cancel 2 out.

$-2=-9+7\\-2=-2$

As you can see, both sides are equal. That means the equation is true for x = -2 and y = -9/2.

Step 3.2

Substitute in 3x-2y = 3

$3x-2y=3$

Substitute x = -2 and y = -9/2 in the equation.

$3(-2)-2(-\frac{9}{2})=3\\-6+\frac{18}{2}=3\\-6+9=3\\3=3$

Since both equations are true for x = -2 and y = -9/4. We can conclude that:

$\huge\sf{x = -2 \ and \ y = -\frac{9}{2} \ are \ the \ solutions \ to \ the \ system \ of \ equations.}$

Hence, the answer is x = -2 and y = -9/2.

Point R is at (2, 1.2) and Point T is at (2, 2.5) on a coordinate grid. The distance between the two points is ____. (Input numb

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

we can see that the x or the first number in both are 2 so there is no distance there, where there is a distance is the y which to find out we can just do 2.5-1.2=1.3

the distance between the two points is 1.3
