Answer: x=-2 y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.
I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.
The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:
4x+4-x=-2.
We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.
We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.
x=-2.
Now we substitute this into the second equation to solve.
3y=4-(-2)
This becomes 3y=4+2 which is 3y=6
We divide both sides by 3 to get y=2
We end up with x=-2 and y=2.
I hope you learned something :)
Answer:
a) distance covered by hare d1 = 8t
b) distance covered by tortoise d2 = 5t + 550
c) ∆d = 550 - 3t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Speed of hare u = 8m/s
Speed of tortoise v = 5 m/s
Initial distance of tortoise d0 = 550 m
a) using the equation of motion;
distance covered = speed × time + initial distance
d = vt + d0
For hare;
d0 = 0
Substituting the values;
d1 = 8t + 0
d1 = 8t
b)using the equation of motion;
distance covered = speed × time + initial distance
d2 = vt + d0
For tortoise;
d0 = 550m
Substituting the values;
d2 = 5t + 550
d2 = 5t + 550 m
c) the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare.
∆d = distance covered by tortoise - distance covered by hare
∆d = d2 - d1
Substituting the values;
∆d = (5t + 550) - 8t
∆d = 550 - 3t
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the number as x
12x-40=7x+25
collect like terms
12x-7x=25+40
5x=65(divide both sides by 5)
x=13
Therefore number is 13
