Solve for x in the simultaneous equation 2x+y=3 ,5x-2y=12

Mathematics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 3 → (1)

5x - 2y = 12 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

4x + 2y = 6 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(5x + 4x ) +( - 2y + 2y) = 12 + 6 , that is

9x = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 2

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5
zaharov [31]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}} or \displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as \displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n} meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.

in an election for mayor,85,034 people voted for carl Green and 67,952 people voted for maria Lewis.By how many votes did Carl G
mario62 [17]
So, do get the answer, you have to find out who got more of the votes, either Carl Green or Maria Lewis. Once you have found out who has more votes, you take the bigger number and subtract the smaller number from it. If you get a negative number, or a number below 0, you have unfortunately have the wrong answer for the problem
