Solve the simultaneous equation 2x - 5y = 9 3x + 4y = 2

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 2, y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 9

3x + 4y = 2

Multiply first equation by -3 and the second by 2:

-6x + 15y = -27

6x + 8y = 4            Adding the 2 equations:

23y = -23

y = -1.

Now substitute this value for y in the first equation:

2x - 5(-1) = 9

2x = 9 +5(-1)

2x = 9 - 5

2x = 4

x = 2.

Trey left his house on his bike and rode 6 miles north, rested then rode 8 miles east. How far is he from his house?
Pavlova-9 [17]
He would be 10 miles away from his home. If you draw out the figure, you will get a triangle with bases 6 and 8. Using the Pythagorean theorem, you get 6 squared plus 8 squared equals the distance squared. That’s 36+64=100, square root of that is 10 which is your answer :)
