The formal name for the property
of equality that
allows one to add the same quantity to both sides
of an equation.
This is one
of the most commonly used properties for solving equations.
The formula tells us that if a = b, then a + c = b + c. The letters a and b stand for two separate numbers, our two twins, and the letter c
stands for what we give to each twin to keep them matching. So, for
example, if we add 1 to the left side of the equation, we must also add 1
to the right side of the equation. By doing this, we keep the equation,
the twins, the same.
Answer: correct choice is B.
Answer:
x = 5/39
, y = 539/39
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{y - 2.5 x = 13.5
12.25 x - y = -12.25
In the first equation, look to solve for y:
{y - 2.5 x = 13.5
12.25 x - y = -12.25
y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:
y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2
Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
12.25 x - y = -12.25
Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25
(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25
In the second equation, look to solve for x:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25
9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:
(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4
Add 27/2 to both sides:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
(39 x)/4 = 5/4
Multiply both sides by 4/39:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
x = 5/39
Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:
{y = 539/39
x = 5/39
Collect results in alphabetical order:
Answer: {x = 5/39
, y = 539/39
75 - 75 = 0, therefore, your answer is equal to zero
