Answer:
(1, 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 17 → (1)
4x + y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 8x - 2y = - 20 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 3x + 0 = - 3
- 3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
5(1) + 2y = 17
5 + 2y = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 6
solution is (1, 6 )
Answer:
40.8 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
First find how many 100 pounds are in the 340 lbs shark.
340/100=3.4
The sharks are fed 12 lbs of fish for every 100 pounds of shark.
There are 3.4 hundred pounds in this shark.
3.4*12=40.8; 40.8 lbs
19/24 is the answer to your question.
The correct answer for this question is this one:
<span>Gwen used elimination with multiplication to solve the system:
2x + 6y = 3
x − 3y = −5
Her work to find x is shown. Complete the explanation of her error. Then solve the system. If necessary, enter your answer as a reduced fraction.
2(x − 3y) = −5 --> 2(x-3y) = 2(-5)
2x − 6y = −5 --> 2x - 6y = -10
2x + 6y = 3 --> 2x + 6y = 3
2x − 6y = −5 --> 2x - 6y = -10
4x + 0y = −2 --> 4x = -7
x = −2/4 --> <u>x = -7/4</u>
x - 3y = -5
4(-7/4 - 3y = -5)
-7 - 12y = -20
-12y = -13
<u>y = 12/13</u>
Gwen forgot to multiply the right side by 2.
