You're solving for "y", aren't you?

If that's the case, then subtract 8.5 from both sides (8.5-8.5 & 17.2-8.5)
You should end up with "y= 8.7"

So, y= 8.7

Hope this helped!

Solve the system of equations by substitution. Show your work in the sketch and write your answer as an ordered pair.
Ede4ka [16]

Let's solve your system by substitution.

−3x+y=−2;y=4x

Rewrite equations:

y=4x;−3x+y=−2

Step: Solvey=4xfor y:

y=4x

Step: Substitute4xforyin−3x+y=−2:

−3x+y=−2

−3x+4x=−2

x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Step: Substitute−2forxiny=4x:

y=4x

y=(4)(−2)

y=−8(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−8

The length of a rectangular floor is 4 feet longer than its width w. The area of the floor is 525 ft^2.
andre [41]

Answer:

  • 525 = (w+4)(w)
  • 21 ft by 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...

  A = LW

  525 = (w+4)(w)

  w^2 +4w -525 = 0

  (w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above

Solutions are ...

  w = 21, w = -25

We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.

The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...

  525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4

  529 = x^2

  √529 = 23 = x

Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.

Solve for x and y.<br> y = 2/3x - 2<br> y = -x + 3
sesenic [268]

Answer:

1. x= 3y+6/2

y=2/3x-2

2.x=−y+3

y=−x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's solve for x.

y=2/3x-2

Step 1: Flip the equation.

2/3x-2=y

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2/3x-2+2=y+2

2/3x=y+2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2/3.

2/3x/2/3=y+2/2/3

x= 3y+6/2

Let's solve for y.

y=2/3x-2

2. Let's solve for x.

y=−x+3

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−x+3=y

Step 2: Add -3 to both sides.

−x+3+−3=y+−3

−x=y−3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

-x/-1=y-3/-1

x=−y+3

Let's solve for y.

y=−x+3

here are two graphs if you need a better explanation
