10. 2x + 7y = 1 2x - 4y = 12 Solve for y

Mathematics

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1    ....(1)

2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12  ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

2x-4y=12

⇒2x=12+4y

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒x=6+2y            

Now, substituting the value of x  in equation (1):

2x+7y=1

⇒2(6+2y)+7y=1

⇒12+4y+7y=1

⇒12+11y=1

⇒11y=1-12

⇒11y=-11

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒y=-1

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.

Solve this equation. 5n+7=7(n+1)-2n
9966 [12]
Distribute 7 to both n and 1

7(n + 1) = 7n + 7

5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n

Combine like terms

5n + 7 = 7n - 2n + 7

5n + 7 = 5n + 7

If you want to solve for n, subtract 7 from both sides

5n + 7 (-7) = 5n + 7 (-7)

5n = 5n

then divide 5 from both sides

5n/5 = 5n/5

n = n

Effectively, this equation is <em>unsolvable</em>

hope this helps
