Solve the system of equations

Mathematics

rewona [7]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a system of 3 equations with 3 variables:

4*x + 2*y + 1 = 1

2*x - y = 1

x + 3*y + z = 1

The first step to solve this, is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate "y" in the second equation:

2*x - y = 1

2*x - 1 = y

Now that we have an expression equivalent to "y", we can replace this in the other two equations:

4*x + 2*(2*x - 1) + 1 = 1

x + 3*(2*x - 1) + z = 1

Now let's simplify these two equations:

8*x - 1 = 1

7*x - 3 + z = 1

Now, in the first equation we have only the variable x, so we can solve that equation to find the value of x:

8*x - 1 = 1

8*x = 1 + 1 = 2

x = 2/8 = 1/4

Now that we know the value of x, we can replace this in the other equation to find the value of z.

7*(1/4) -3 + z = 1

7/4 - 3 + z = 1

z = 1 + 3 - 7/4

z = 4 - 7/4

z = 16/4 - 7/4 = 9/4

z = 9/4

Now we can use the equation y = 2*x - 1 and the value of x to find the value of y:

y = 2*(1/4) - 1

y = 2/4 - 1

y = 1/2 - 1

y = -1/2

Then the solution is:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Move c  units to left means add c to every x

move 7 so add 7 to every x

James invested $300 in a bank account that earns simple interest. He earns $24 at the end of 12 months. James invests $500 at th
NARA [144]

Answer: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

The key formula to use for this problem is the simple interest formula, which is I=prt ; where I is the interest earned, p is the principal (initial) amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time that passes.

Since we know that both investments have the same interest rate, we can use the information from the first part of the problem to solve for the interest rate. Using algebra, we can rearrange the simple interest formula to solve for the interest rate:  r=I/pt. We know that our interest earned is $24 and our principal amount is $300. To make things easier, we'll also convert months to years, which is easy to do since we know that 12 months = 1 year. This gives us our value for the amount of time that passes. Now, all we have to do is plug in our values into the rearranged equation above.

We should now have: r=\frac{24}{300*1}=0.08

Now, to find the interest earned from the $500 investment, we just need to plug in our values from the second part of the problem, along with our calculated interest rate of 0.08, into the original formula of I=prt

This should result in I=500*0.08*1=40

Therefore, James will receive $40 on his $500 investment after 12 months.

Help me plssss <br> its for a math test and im braindead atm
Gwar [14]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 + 1/4

To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator.  Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.

In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.  So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.

Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.  

You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
