X+2y=-1 and 4x-4y=20 solve by substitution

Mathematics

Illusion [34]3 years ago

To do this problem you would first need to factor out a variable, which in this case I would want to do the first equation because it is isolated. Now the equations would look like this:

x = -2y - 1

4x - 4y = 20

Since we know that x is now equal to -2y - 1 we can plug it in to the x value in the second equation:

4 (-2y -1) - 4y = 20

-8y -4 - 4y

-12y - 4 = 20

-12y = 24

y = -2

Now that we know the y value plug the y value to one equation to find the x, I will be using the first equation

x + 2(-2) = -1

x - 4 = -1

x = 3

Solutions:

y = -2

x = 3

Our math team had m students last year, but this year it has already n students! By what percent did the number of students grow
lukranit [14]
Sinn is the total amount of students now and m were the students before, you subtract them both (n-m) and divide that by m. Then, since to get a percentage from a fraction you have to multiply by 100, your answer should look like this: n-m/m*100

I need help finding out why they are congruent
Advocard [28]
Ok so if 5x + 24 equals 9x - 17, the we can write it like this:

5x + 24 = 9x - 17 ~~~ We have to get x on one side to find out what it is. So you can either subtract 5x from both sides or 9x from both sides. Imma subtract 5x from north sides which becomes:

5x - 5x + 24 = 9x - 5x - 17 Now simplify

24 = 4x - 17 Now isolate 4x. To do that we have to add 17 to both sides

24 + 17 = 4x - 17 + 17 Now simplify

41 = 4x Now we have to get x alone on one side. So divide 4 from both sides. Becomes

41/4 = 4x/4 Now simplify.
