How to solve using substitution y=3/4X+5 4x-3y=-1

Please, use parentheses to enclose each fraction:
y=3/4X+5 should be written as <span>y=(3/4)X+5

Let's eliminate the fraction 3/4 by multiplying the above equation through by 4:

4[y] = 4[(3/4)x + 5]
Then 4y = 3x + 20
(no fraction here)

Let 's now solve the system   

4y=3x + 20
4x-3y=-1

We are to solve this system using subtraction.  To accomplish this, multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4.  Here's what happens:

12y = 9x + 60  (first equation)
16x-12y = -4, or -12y = -4 - 16x (second equation)

Then we have 

 12y = 9x + 60
-12y =-16x - 4

If we add here, 12y-12y becomes zero and we then have 0 = -7x + 56.
Solving this for x:  7x = 56; x=8

We were given equations   
</span><span>y=3/4X+5
4x-3y=-1

We can subst. x=8 into either of these eqn's to find y.  Let's try the first one:

y = (3/4)(8)+5 = 6+5=11

Then x=8 and y=11.

You should check this result.  Subst. x=8 and y=11 into the second given equation.  Is this equation now true?</span>

A set of equations is given below:
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The number of solutions to the given set of equations is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of solutions of a system of equations:

System of equations: ax = b

If a = 0 and b = 0, infinite solutions.

If a = 0 and b != 0, zero solutions.

If a != 0 and b != 0, one solution.

We are given the following system of equations:

y = 7x + 12

y = 7x + 2

So

7x + 12 = 7x + 2

7x - 7x = 2 - 12

0x = -10

a = 0, b != 0, so zero solutions.

The number of solutions to the given set of equations is 0.

Solve the following problems using 5-D process part 2
svet-max [94.6K]

The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.

In the first case, let g and b be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.

We know that g=2b+4 (the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that g+b=61 (there are 61 students in total).

So, we have the system

\begin{cases}g=2b+4\\g+b=61\end{cases}

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

g+b=61 \iff (2b+4)+b=61 \iff 3b+4=61 \iff 3b=57 \iff b=19

And then solve for g:

g=2b+4=2\cdot 19+4=38+4=42

For the second problem, let c and j be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system

\begin{cases}c=j+12\\c+j=230\end{cases}

And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.

Your fruit punch recipe can be composed of 4 juice containers of lemonade, 2 juice containers of orange juice, 2 juice containers of grape juice, 2 juice containers of apple juice, 2 juice containers of cranberry juice, and 2 juice containers of pineapple juice.

<h3>Unit conversion</h3>

Unit conversion is a tool very useful to solve some questions. For this exercise, you should know that  1 liter (l) = 1000 milliliters (ml).

The question asks you a design your own fruit punch recipe with exactly 5 liters of punch and includes at least three of the juice.

You have several options, an alternative is to use all juices.

  • Step 1 - Convert the units for each given juice containers

         250 milliliters of lemonade = 0.250 l of lemonade juice

         500 milliliters of orange juice = 0.500 l of orange juice

         250 milliliters of grape juice = 0.250 l of grape juice

         250 milliliters of apple juice= 0.250 l  of apple juice

         500 milliliters of cranberry juice =  0.500 l of cranberry juice

         500 milliliter’s of pineapple juice = 0.500 l of pineapple juice

  • Step 2 -Design your own fruit punch recipe with  exactly 5 liters

 4 juice containers of lemonade = 4* 0.250 l = 1 l of lemonade

 2 juice containers of orange juice= 2* 0.500 l = 1 l of orange juice

2 juice containers of grape juice= 2* 0.250 l = 0.500 l of grape juice

2 juice containers of apple juice= 2* 0.250 l = 0.500 l of apple juice

 2 juice containers of cranberry juice= 2* 0.500 l = 1 l of cranberry juice

 2 juice containers of  pineapple juice= 2* 0.500 l = 1 l pineapple juice

Thus, your own fruit punch recipe is composed of: 4 juice containers of lemonade, 2 juice containers of orange juice, 2 juice containers of grape juice, 2 juice containers of apple juice, 2 juice containers of cranberry juice, and 2 juice containers of pineapple juice.
