Solve 3x+2y=7 and x-4y=-21 by using any method

Mathematics
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

(- 1, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the method of substitution.

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = 7 → (1)

x - 4y = - 21 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by adding 4y to both sides.

x = 4y - 21 → (3)

Substitute x = 4y - 21 into (1)

3(4y - 21) + 2y = 7 ← distribute and simplify left side

12y - 63 + 2y = 7

14y - 63 = 7 ( add 63 to both sides )

14y = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (3)

x = (4 × 5) - 21 = 20 - 21 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, 5 )

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

(-1,8)

(4,-27)

Step-by-step explanation:

y+7x=1

Let x = -1 and find y

y+7(-1)=1

y -7 =1

Add 7 to each side

y-7+7 = 1+7

y = 8

(-1,8)

Let x = 4 and find y

y+7(4)=1

y +28 =1

Subtract 28 from each side

y+28-28 = 1-28

y = -27

(4,-27)

The ratio of green food coloring to blue food coloring is 1:2. we used 6 drops of blue. how many total drops of food coloring di
ehidna [41]
If the ratio of green to blue food coloring is 1:2 and 6 drops of blue was used, meaning that you basically multiplied 2 by 3 in order to get 6. Then the number of green drops would be 3 (1*3=3). 6+3=9
The total amount of drops of food coloring is then 9.

Hope this helps! (:
