Simultaneous equations 5x+y=28 x+y=2

Korolek [52]3 years ago

Answer:

\boxed{x=6.5} \\ \boxed{y=-4.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 28

x + y = 2

Subtract both equations. (eliminating y variable)

4x + 0 = 26

4x = 26

Divide both sides by 4.

x = \frac{26}{4}

x = 6.5

Plug x as 6.5 in the second equation and solve for y.

6.5 + y = 2

Subtract 6.5 on both sides.

6.5 - 6.5 + y = 2 - 6.5

y = -4.5

Answer:

<h2>( \frac{13}{2}  \:,  -  \frac{9}{2} )</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 28

x + y = 8

Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign

5x + y = 28

y = 2 - x

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

5x + 2 - x = 28

Solve the equation for x

Collect like terms

4x + 2 = 28

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

4x = 28 - 2

Subtract the numbers

4x  = 26

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

\frac{4x}{4}  =  \frac{26}{4}

Calculate

x =  \frac{26}{4}

Reduce the numbers with 2

x =  \frac{13}{2}

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

y = 2 -  \frac{13}{2}

Solve the equation for y

y =  -  \frac{9}{2}

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

<h2>(x \: y) = ( \frac{13}{2} , \:  -  \frac{9}{2} )</h2>

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

Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:

plug the value of x and y in both equation

5 \times  \frac{13}{2}  -  \frac{9}{2}  = 28

\frac{13}{2}  -  \frac{9}{2}  = 2

Simplify the equalities

28 = 28

2 = 2

Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

(x  \:, y \: ) = ( \frac{13}{2}  \: , -  \frac{9}{2})

Hope this helps....

Best regards!!

The table shown below shows some values for functions f(x) and g(x). What is/are the solution(s) to f(x)=g(x)? Explain your answ
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: x = -1 and x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to f(x) = g(x) is the point at which the two intersect , that is , the point at which they are equal. Checking through the table given ,it is only 9 and 12 that is common to both f(x) and g(x) .

Therefore : the solution to f(x) = g(x) is the point where x = -1 and x = 1

The riverside geyser in Yellowstone erupts about every 6.25 h. When the geyser erupts, the water has an initial upward velocity
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Correct answer:  Hmax = 22.11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this problem is a vertical shot upwards, to which the following formula applies:

V₀² - V² = 2 · g · H   where is:

V₀ - initial velocity

V - final velocity

g = 10 m/s²

H - final height

Given:

V₀ = 69 ft/s = 21.03 m/s

V = 0 m/s

Hmax = ?

V₀² = 2 · g · Hmax  ⇒ Hmax = V₀² / 2 · g

Hmax = 21.03² / 2 · 10 = 442.26 / 20 = 22.11 m

Hmax = 22.11 m

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte
Lostsunrise [7]

A) The constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is k = \frac{y}{x}

B) The equation to represent this proportional relationship is y = 0.2x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

The amount Naomi pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

This is a direct variation proportion

\text{ amount Naomi pays each month } \propto \text{ number of international texts she sends that month}

Let "y" be the amount that Naomi pays each month

Let "x" be the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

y \propto x

y = kx -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

Thus the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is:

k = \frac{y}{x}

<em><u>Last month, she paid $3.20 for 16 international texts</u></em>

Therefore,

y = 3.20

x = 16

Thus from eqn 1,

3.20 = k \times 16\\\\k = \frac{3.20}{16}\\\\k = 0.2

Substitute k = 0.2 in eqn 1

y = 0.2x

The equation would then be y = 0.2x
