X + 3y = 18 -X - 4y = -25

Mathematics
2 answers:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -3

y= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y=18 ----(1)

-x - 4y=-25 -----(2)

from equation (1)

x = 18 - 3y ---(3)

putting equation (3) into equation (2)

-(18 - 3y) - 4y = -25

18 + 3y -4y = -25

3y - 4y = -25 - 18

-y = -7

y = 7 ✓

Putting y=7 into equation (1)

x + 3(7) = 18

x + 21 = 18

x = 18 - 21

x = -3 ✓

3. If 3, x, y, 18, are in arithmetic progression, (A, P) find the value of x and y
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is:

3, x, y, 18

If this is an A P then

x - 3 = y - x  

2x - y = 3      (A)  and

y - x = 18 - y

2y - x = 18      (B)

Multiply  (A) by 2:

4x - 2y = 6    (C)

Adding B and C:

3x = 24

x = 8.

and

2y - 8 = 18

2y = 26

y = 13.

So x = 8 and y = 13.

b)   ar + ar^2 = 6ar^3  where a = first term and r = common ratio

Divide by a:

r + r^2 = 6r^3

6r^3 - r^2 - r = 0

r(6r^2 - r - 1) = 0

r(3r  + 1)(2r  - 1) = 0

So the 2 possible values of r

= -1/3 and 1/2.

i) The common ratio is positive so it must be 1/2.

Second term ar = 8

1/2 a = 8

a = 16.

So the first 6 terms are:

16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2.

Seven less than two times a number is 29.
Alexxx [7]
2x-7=29

"Seven less than" => minus 7.
"Two times <u>a number</u>" => 2x (x is the unknown number)
"is twenty-nine" => =29
Putting it all together, 

-7 + 2x = 29
or
2x-7=29
(if you were wondering x is equal to 18)

How do you find equivalent ratios? (Please put explanation)
Sergeu [11.5K]
Two ratios that are equivalent are the same in value. We call these equivalent ratios. To find an equivalent ratio multiply or divide both of the numbers by a common number (or same number), this would be the exact same when finding equivalent fractions as well.
