Answer:

<h2>x = 2</h2><h2>y = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - y = 5..........… Equation 1

x + 2y = 8 ............. Equation 2

Make x the subject in equation 2 and substitute it into equation 1

That's

x = 8 - 2y

We have

4( 8 - 2y ) - y = 5

32 - 8y - y = 5

- 9y = - 27

Divide both sides by - 9

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = 3</h3>

Substitute y = 3 into x = 8 - 2y

That's

x = 8 - 2(3)

= 8 - 6

<h3>x = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-y=5-----×1.

x+2y=8----×4.

which will be....

4x-y=5

- 4x+8y=32.

____________

-9y=-27

----- ----

-9. -9.

y=3.

then substitute into any equation...

equation one.

4x-3=5.

4x=5+3.

4x=8.

x=8/4.

x=2.

therefore y=3 and x=2.

If Rachel were to paint her living room alone, it would take 2 hours. Her sister Fran could do the job in 5 hours. How many hour
snow_tiger [21]

Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Given that

Rachel can paint half of the living room in 1 hour

Fran can paint \frac{1}{5}th part of the living room in 1 hour

Let's assume together they paint the living room in x hours

⇒ together they can paint \frac{1}{x}th part of the living room in 1 hour

By proportions,

⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{x} {using operation proportions and addition}

⇒\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒x=\frac{10}{7}        

⇒ together they can paint \frac{7}{10}th part of the living room in 1 hour

It means, Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours
