Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. 2x + 4y = 12 AND x=y - 3

Mathematics

Kamila [148]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The solution is (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, reduce 2x + 4y = 12 to x + 2y = 6, for easier calculations.

Next, substitute y - 3 for x in the other equation:

y - 3 + 2y = 6, or

3y = 9

Then y = 3.  Since x = y - 3 in general, x = 3 - 3 = 0 when y = 3.

The solution is (0, 3)

Two 2 1/2 inch plastic strips and two 5 1/3 inch plastic strips are used to form a rectangle. What is the perimeter of the recta
svp [43]
In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch
                                       = 5/2 inch
Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch
                                         = 16/3 inch
Then
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( Length + Width)
                                        = 2 [(5/2) + (16/3)]
                                         = 2 [ (45 + 32)/6]
                                         = 2 * (77/6)
                                         = 77/3 inch
                                         = 25 2/3 inch
So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k and write the equation
nydimaria [60]

y/x = k

6.4/4 = 1.6

11.2 / 7 =1.6

16/10 = 1.6

20.8 /13 =1.6


This is a direct variation and the constant is 1.6

y=1.6x
