Solve the system of equations. (3x + 4y = 5) (2x - 3y = -8)

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

the solution is (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the system

(3x + 4y = 5)

(2x - 3y = -8)

using the method of elimination by addition and subtraction.  Notice that if we multiply all terms of the first equation by 3 and all terms of the second by 4, y as a variable will temporarily disappear:

  9x + 12y = 15

  8x - 12y  = -32

-----------------------

 17x       = - 17, so x = -1.  

Replacing x in the second equation by -1, we get:

2(-1) - 3y = -8, or

2 + 3y = 8,

or 3y = 6.  Thus, y = 2, and the solution is (-1, 2).

Gina has 5 2/8 feet of silver ribbon and 3 6/8 of gold ribbon. How much more silver ribbon does Gina have than gold ribbon.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,

                               5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet

Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.

Solve the equation 0.5p -3.45= -1.2.​
ddd [48]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5p-3.45=-1.2

add 3.45 to -1.2 which would leave the equation to look like

0.5p=2.25

then divide 0.5 to both sides cancelling 0.5 leaving the answer to be

p=4.5
