IF x+y=5 and x-2y=-4 find the value of x and y​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

Shift y to the other side and change to (-y).

x = 5 - y  --- Equation 1

x - 2y = -4 --- Equation 2

Substitute x = 5 - y into Equation 2:

x - 2y = -4

5 - y - 2y = -4

Shift 5 to the other side and change to (-5).

-y - 2y = -4 - 5

Evaluate like terms.

-3y = -9

Divide both sides by -3.

y = -9 ÷ -3

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into Equation 1:

x = 5 - y

x = 5 - 3

x = 2

If two 6-sided dice are rolled, what is the<br> probability of rolling double 2s?
Komok [63]

16.7%

There are 6 ways we can roll doubles out of a possible 36 rolls (6 x 6), for a probability of 6/36, or 1/6, on any roll of two fair dice. So you have a 16.7% probability of rolling doubles with 2 fair six-sided dice.

IceJOKER [234]

For the first system, we have

1 - 3x + 3y = -8

or

-3x + 3y = -9

The second equation, however, tells us

-3x + 3y = 13

but -9 ≠ 13, so this system has no solution.

For the second system, notice that multiplying both sides of

4x - 8y = 6

by 1/2 gives

2x - 4y = 3

which is identical to the other equation in the system. Then all point (x, y) that lie on this line are solutions to the system, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.
