To solve this, what you will need to do is find the solution of one variable and then substitute it and solve for the other.
Here’s how to solve:
y+2x=4
-2x -2x
y=4-2x
4-2x + 2x =4
4=4
So if you’re trying to see if it is true, then your answer is that it’s true.
If you’re trying to find the linear equation, then your answer is y=-2x+4.
Whenever a problem says "one number" and "another number" we can substitute x and y. for this we have x=2y+1 and xy=1. since we know the value of x (2y+1) we can substitute it for the other equation to get (2y+1)y=10. simplify to get 2y^2+y=10. from here you can do a few methods to solve this, but the simplest in my opinion is by factoring.
In order to factor it must be equal to 0, so we have 2y^2+y-10=0. We factor this and get y=5 (we also get y=-4 but it is an extraneous root). now we can plug that into either equation and find that x=2.
this means our two numbers are 5 and 2
Answer:
Our rate is, 10:125
Let's make it a unit rate!
Divide by 10 on both sides:
1:12.5
