What is the solution of the system of equations 2x-5y=11 and -2x+3y=-9

1 answer:

6 0

Equation 1:
x = (5y+11)/2
Substitute equation 1 to 2:
-2((5y+11)/2)+ 3y=-9
-2/2 = -1 thus -1(5y+11)

Continue...
-(5y+11)+3y=-9
-5y-11+3y =-9
(-5+3)y= 11-9
-2y = 2
y=-1

Substitute y into equation 1:
x=(5*-1+11)/2
x = 6/2=3

So y=-1 and x =3

prisoha [69]

Answer:

5280people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage increase of population = 25%

Population now = 6600

Unknown:

Population last year = ?

Solution:

Let the population last year = y;

Then;

Percentage of last years population plus the population of last year should give us this year's population;

( $\frac{25}{100}$ of y) + y = 6600

0.25y + y = 6600

1.25y = 6600

y = $\frac{6600}{1.25}$ = 5280people

Last year, there was 5280people in the locality.
