3x+y=52x-2y=-2solve by using process of elimination (find both x and y)​

Mathematics

Bingel [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The value of 'x' is 1 and 'y' is 2. So, the point is (1, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given pair of linear equations are:

3x+y=5\\2x-2y=-2

In order to solve by elimination method, we have to eliminate any one variable using mathematical operations. Let us eliminate 'y'.

Multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding the result to the second equation. This gives,

(3x+y)\times 2=5\times 2\\6x+2y=10\\2x-2y=-2\\+\\----------\\8x+0=8\\8x=8\\x=\frac{8}{8}=1

Now, the value of 'y' can be calculated by plugging in 1 for 'x' in the first equation. This gives,

3(1)+y=5\\3+y=5\\y=5-3\\y=2

Therefore, the value of 'x' is 1 and 'y' is 2.

The solution is (1, 2).

The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for adults. John spent $12.00 for admission. Write an equation
g100num [7]
So what you are trying to find is the certain amount of children tickets and adult tickets. the final amount is a total of $12. This means that a unknown number of children tickets (c) times 1.50 (price of each ticket for children) plus the unknown number of adult tickets (a) times 4.00 (price of each ticket for adults) equals a final cost of $12.00.

Equation: 1.50c+4.00a= 12.00

Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function. Express it in slope intercept form.
worty [1.4K]
<h3>Answer:   y = (1/2)x+3</h3>

slope = 1/2,  y intercept = 3

==============================================================

Work Shown:

Pick any two points you want on the line.

I'll pick the two points (0,3) which is the y intercept and also the point (2,4).

------

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (0,3) and (x2,y2) = (2,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 3)/(2 - 0)

m = 1/2 is the slope

slope = rise/run = 1/2

rise/run = 1/2 means rise = 1 and run = 2.

This means we go up 1 unit each time we move to the right 2 units.

-----

Since the slope is m = 1/2 and the y intercept is b = 3, we can say

y = mx+b

y = (1/2)x+3

this is the same as y = 0.5x+3 since 1/2 = 0.5

What is the composite number to 2X2X2X2X5X5X5X7X11
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

154000

Step-by-step explanation:

2: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 16

5: 5 * 5 * 5 = 125

7: 7

11: 11

composite number := 16 * 125 * 7 * 11 = 154,000

Four times a number munis 5 times another number is equal to 21. Three times the sum of the two numbers is 36. What are two numb
Ronch [10]

Let the first number be represented by "x".

Let the second number be represented by "y".

"Four times a number..." = 4x

"... minus 5..." = 4x - 5

"... times another number..." = y(4x - 5)

"... is equal to 21." = y(4x - 5) = 21

y(4x - 5) = 21

"Three times the sum of the two numbers (x & y) is 36." = 3(x +y) = 36

3(x + y) = 36

y(4x - 5) = 21

1) solve for "y"

   1) y(4x - 5) = 21

  2) 4xy - 5y = 21

  3) 4xy/4x - 5y = 21/4x

(what you do to one side of the equals sign, you must do to the other so 4x cancels out on the left side, and on the right side you have to divide 21 by 4x)

  4) y - 5y/-5 =  5.25x/-5

  5) y + y = -1.05x

  6) 2y = -1.05x

  7) 2y/2 = -1.05x/2

  8) y = -.525x

2) substitute "y" in for the second equation

   1) 3(x + (-.525x)) = 36

(notice how you now only have x's in this equation)

3) solve for x

   1) 3x - 1.575x = 36

  2) 1.425x = 36

  3) 1.425x/1.425 = 36/1.425

  4) x = 25.3

4) finish finding "y" in either one of the equations using the answer you got for "x"

  1) y(4(25.3) - 5) = 21

 2) y(101.2 - 5) = 21

 3) y(96.2) = 21

 4) 96.2y = 21

 5) 96.2y/96.2 = 21/96.2

 6) y = .22

5) check your work by substituting the two answers back into one of the equations

  1) .22(4(25.3) - 5) = 21

 2) .22(101.2 - 5) = 21

 3) .22(96.2) = 21

 4) 21.164 = 21
