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

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!!

3/7 x 28/9 x 15/17 ... how do I use cancellation? my answer was 15/17 but thats not the right answer, can someone explain this a
Ne4ueva [31]
First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!

A $500 television is on sale for 20% off. However, you must pay 6% in sales tax. What is the final price of the television after
GrogVix [38]

20% off means you are paying 80% of the original price ( 100% - 20% = 80%)

Multiply the price of the tv by 80% to find the sale price:

500 x 0.80 = 400

Now multiply the sales price by 1 plus the tax rate to find final cost:

400 x 1.06 = 424

Final price including tax is $424

I can't figure out how to do this problem. Could somebody help me?
Verizon [17]

start by plugging in the value you already have, in this case, 5 for y.

-4x-3(5)=17

-4x-15=17

-4x=32

x=-8

however, since a is a+1, a would be 7 (making x 8)

also plz tell me if i read this wrong and it’s actually 1,5 rather than a+1 and 5 cause if i did i’m so sorry lol.
