What is the system is equations 5x+4y=8 2x-3y=17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  (4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations can be described a number of ways. One possible description is "a consistent pair of linear equations in two variables."

Perhaps you want to know the solution to this system of equations. I find it easiest to graph them. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...

  (x, y) = (4, -3)

__

You can also use "elimination" to simplify the system to a single equation in a single variable. Adding 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first will do that.

  3(5x +4y) +4(2x -3y) = 3(8) +4(17)

  23x = 92 . . . . . simplify

  x = 4 . . . . . . . .  divide by 23

Substituting this value into the first equation, we have ...

  5(4) +4y = 8

  5 +y = 2 . . . . . . divide by 4

  y = -3 . . . . . . . . subtract 5

The solution is (x, y) = (4, -3).

What is 87 24 over 25 as a decimal
erastova [34]
8724/25 = 348.96
 When you say "over" that means that it has to be divided that short subtraction sign that separates the numerator and the denominator and also means divide so I believe that if you divide you can find the decimal.

Gabriel went to the grocery store and bought bottles of soda and bottles of juice. Each bottle of soda has 35 grams of sugar and
kupik [55]

Answer:

9 bottles of soda and 7 bottles of juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of bottles of soda purchased and y be the number of bottles of juice purchased.

1. Gabriel purchased 2 more bottles of soda than bottles of juice, then

x=y+2

2. Each bottle of soda has 35 grams of sugar, then there are 35x g of sugar in x bottles of soda.

Each bottle of juice has 10 grams of sugar, then there are 10y g of sugar in y bottles of juice.

In total, there are 35x+10y g of sugar.

All bottles collectively contain 385 grams of sugar, thus

35x+10y=385

3. Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x=y+2\\ \\35x+10y=385\end{array}\right.

Substitute the first equation into the second equation:

35(y+2)+10y=385\\ \\35y+70+10y=385\\ \\35y+10y=385-70\\ \\45y=315\\ \\y=7\\ \\x=7+2=9

A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.
