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.

Find the value of a. A: 15, B: 19
loris [4]

Answer:

A: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are opposite to each other.

Vertically opposite angles are equal in size.

Put up an equation and solve for a.

6a + 10 = 3a + 55

Subtract 3a and 10 on both sides.

6a - 3a = 55 - 10

Combining like terms.

3a = 45

Divide both sides by 3.

a = 45/3

a = 15

The value of a is 15.

In slope-intercept form the equation of the line is
