How do you solve linear equations with substitutions?

Mathematics

Nostrana [21]3 years ago

Answer:

The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system by substitution.

2x – 3y = –2

4x +   y = 24

The idea here is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables, and plug this into the other equation. It does not matter which equation or which variable you pick. There is no right or wrong choice; the answer will be the same, regardless. But — some choices may be better than others.

For instance, in this case, can you see that it would probably be simplest to solve the second equation for "y =", since there is already a y floating around loose in the middle there? I could solve the first equation for either variable, but I'd get fractions, and solving the second equation for x would also give me fractions. It wouldn't be "wrong" to make a different choice, but it would probably be more difficult. Being lazy, I'll solve the second equation for y:

4x + y = 24

y = –4x + 24

Now I'll plug this in ("substitute it") for "y" in the first equation, and solve for x:

2x – 3(–4x + 24) = –2

2x + 12x – 72 = –2

14x = 70

x = 5

Answer:

0.430625=0.431

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

0.430625 = 0.431

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.

12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.

6W 0D 0L

5W 1D 0L

5W 0D 1L

4W 2D 0L

4W 1D 1L

4W 0D 2L

3W 3D 0L

The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.

Knowing that P(W) = 0.5

P(D) = 0.1

P(L) = 0.4

P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625

P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875

P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375

P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15

P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025

The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625

A set of five distinct positive integers has a mean of $1000$ and a median of $100$. What is the largest possible integer that c
mixer [17]

Answer:

e = 4796

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

mean of five distinct positive number = 1000

median of the number = 100

100 is median means two number will be less than 100 and two number will be greater than 100.

let five number be

a , b, c, d, e

'e' should be the largest number

As 100 is median so 'c' = 100.

'a' and 'b' should be as small as possible and d should be the number nearest to 100.

As all the number are distinct so the least number be equal to 1 and 2

now d will be equal to 101 (nearest to 100)

now,

sum of the five number = 5 x 1000 = 5000

a + b + c + d + e = 5000

1 + 2 + 100 + 101 + e = 5000

e = 5000 - 204

e = 4796

hence, the largest number will be equal to e = 4796

Which statement is true regarding the functions on the
prisoha [69]

Answer:

f(2) = g(2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Alg I</u>

  • Reading a Cartesian Plane
  • Identifying Coordinates
  • Solutions of systems of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

We see from the graph that f(x) and g(x) intersect at x = 2. Therefore, the point at x = 2 would be equivalent in both graphs/be a solution to both equations.

Therefore, f(2) must equal g(2), as they intersect each other at that point and have the same value of 0.
