Answer:

x=5, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to multiply both sides of the second equation by -1 so that you can proceed the elimination process. Like this...

x + y = 6

x - 4y = 1

x + y = 6

-x + 4y =- 1

Now you can eliminate the x variable by addition process. It becomes like this...

x + y = 6

-x + 4y =- 1

5y=5

y = 1

Now, let's proceed substitution process. You can substitute the value of y into any equation that you want. I want to put the value of y into the equation of x + y = 6 .

When y=1, substitute into x + y = 6

x + 1 = 6

x = 6-1

x = 5

Hooray! Now you have the value of x and y.

x= 1 and y=5.

I hope you will understand my explanation. Bye!

2 u + 12 < 23 0,1 d + 8 > 0 3 - 4 r > 7 13 < 2 z + 3 6 ≥ 9 - 0, 15 i

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part 1) $u< 5.5$

Part 2) $d > -80$

Part 3) $r < -1$

Part 4) $z>5$

Part 5) $i\geq 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Solve each inequality for the indicated variable

Part 1) we have

$2u+12$

subtract 12 both sides

$2u< 23-12\\2u$

Divide by 2 both sides

$u< 5.5$

The solution is the interval (-∞,5.5)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at left of u=5.5 (open circle)

The number 5.5 is not included in the solution

Part 2) we have

$0.1d+8 >0$

subtract 8 both sides

$0.1d > -8$

Divide by 0.1 both sides

$d > -80$

The solution is the interval (-80,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of d=-80 (open circle)

The number -80 is not included in the solution

Part 3) we have

$3-4r> 7$

Subtract 3 both sides

$-4r>7-3\\-4r>4$

Divide by -4 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$r < -1$

The solution is the interval (-∞,-1)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at left of r=-1.1 (open circle)

The number -1.1 is not included in the solution

Part 4) we have

$13< 2z+3$

Subtract 3 both sides

$13-3$

Divide by 2 both sides

$5$

Rewrite

$z>5$

The solution is the interval (5,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of z=5 (open circle)

The number 5 is not included in the solution

Part 5) we have

$6\geq 9-0.15i$

Subtract 9 both sides

$6-9\geq -0.15i\\-3\geq -0.15i$

Divide by -0.15 both sides

Remember that, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$20\leq i$

Rewrite

$i\geq 20$

The solution is the interval [20,∞)

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of i=20 (closed circle)

The number 20 is included in the solution
