Answer:

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = 1/x, and v = 1/y

Then the pair of equations

-3/x + 4/y = 11

1/x - 2/y = -5

Can be written as

-3u + 4v = 11 .................................(1)

u - 2v = -5......................................(2)

From (2)

u = 2v - 5 .......................................(3)

Substituting (3) into (1)

-3(2v - 5) + 4v = 11

-6v + 15 + 4v = 11

-6v + 4v = 11 - 15

-2v = -4

v = 4/2 = 2

Substituting this value of v in (3)

u = 2v - 5

u = 2(2) - 5

= 4 - 5

= -1

That is

u = -1, v = 2

Since u = 1/x, and v = 1/y, we have

1/x = -1

=> x = -1

And

1/y = 2

=> y = 1/2

Therefore

x = -1 and y = 1/2

Which is the simplified form of the expression?
Anon25 [30]

Given:

Consider the given expression is:

10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n-12)

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n-12)

Using distributive property, it can be written as:

=10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n)-\dfrac{1}{3}(-12)

=10n-3n+4

=7n+4

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Find 4 consecutive odd numbers such that twice the sum of the least 2 numbers is 40 less than three times the sum of the greates
ANTONII [103]
4 consecutive odd numbers....x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

2(x + x + 2) = 3(x + 4 + x + 6) - 40
2(2x + 2) = 3(2x + 10) - 40
4x + 4 = 6x + 30 - 40
4x + 4 = 6x - 10
4x - 6x = -10 - 4
-2x = - 14
x = -14/-2
x = 7

x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11
x + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13

ur numbers are : 7,9,11,13 <==
