5x – 7y= 16 2 + 7y = 8. what is x?

Mathematics
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

x=45/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2+7y=8. 7y=8-2. <u>7</u><u>y</u><u>=</u><u>6</u>

7=7. y=6\7

insert the value of y in the second equation. 5x-7y=16

5x-7(6/7)=16

5x-49\6=16

collect the liketerms together

5x=16+49/6

5x=145/6(divide both sides by 5)

x=29/6

x=45/6

<em><u>f</u></em><em><u>u</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>h</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

<em><u> </u></em>confirm if the 2 in the second equation has an X coz the questions are normally set with both equations having both values x and y

How do i solve this?<br> I dont understand what the big number is to the small number
Gelneren [198K]

The red figure is smaller so it is a reduction.

To find the scale factor divide the length of the smaller shape by the length of the larger shape:

9/15 this can be reduced to 3/5

If y varies inversely as x and y=32 when x=3, find x when y=15
deff fn [24]
Y=kx, k is not equal to 0
when y=32,x=3, 32=3k
                           k=32/3
so y=32/3*x
when y=15, 15=32/3*x
                     x=45/32

Help me will give brain
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(x−2)=6x+18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−2)=6x+18

(4)(x)+(4)(−2)=6x+18(Distribute)

4x+−8=6x+18

4x−8=6x+18

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

4x−8−6x=6x+18−6x

−2x−8=18

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−2x−8+8=18+8

−2x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x/−2=26/−2

x=−13

Answer:

x=−13

Graph the system of equations. {x−y=64x+y=4
Fantom [35]
X-y=6 Equation 1
x+y=4 Equation 2

To graph the given system of equation, first find x and y-intercept of each equation.
x-y=6
When y=0
x=6  Point is (6,0)
When x=0
-y=6
y=-6  Point is (0,-6)

Now x-intercept and y-intercept for equation 2.
x+y=4
When x=0
y=4  Point is (0,4)
When y=0
x=4 Point is (4,0)

Now plot these points on the graph, the lines intersect each other at point (5,-1), which is the solution of the given system.

Answer: (5,-1)

Which inequality represents the statement? The ages (a) of s group of travelers all exceeded 17 years and were no more then 54 y
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The inequality that represents the age of the group, "x", is: 17 < x \leq 54

Step-by-step explanation:

To express this problem in an inequality we will attribute the age of the members on the group with the variable "x". There are two available information about "x", the first states that every member of the group is older than 17 years, therefore we can create a inequality based on that:

x > 17

While the second data from the problem states that none of than is older than 54 years old, this implies that they can be at most that old, therefore the inequality that represents this is:

x\leq 54

In order for both to be valid at the same time x must be greater than 17 and less or equal to 54, therefore we finally have:

17 < x \leq 54
