Solve the system of equations using elimination 2x + y = 5 -1x + y = 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(1, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 5 → (1)

- x + y = 2 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting 2x fro both sides

y = 5 - 2x → (3)

Substitute y = 5 - 2x into (2)

- x + 5 - 2x = 2

- 3x + 5 = 2 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 5 - 2(1) = 5 - 2 = 3

solution is (1, 3 )

A herd of dinosaurs made paintings in the sand with their claws. Each baby dinosaur made 1515 paintings and each adult dinosaur
mart [117]

Answer:

4 adult dinosaurs and 12 baby dinosaurs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult dinosaurs be x.

Number of baby dinosaurs = 3x

Number of paintings made by each baby dinosaur = 15

Number of paintings made by each adult dinosaur = 7

Total number of paintings made by 3x baby dinosaurs = Number of baby dinosaurs * Number of paintings made by each baby dinosaur

= 3x * 15

= 45x

Total number of paintings made by x adult dinosaurs = Number of adult dinosaurs * Number of paintings made by each adult dinosaur

= x * 7

= 7x

Total number of paintings made by both baby and adult dinosaurs = 45x + 7x

= 52 x

Again the problem says that the total number of paintings made  = 208

So, 52x = 208

Dividing both sides by 52

\frac{52x}{52}  = \frac{208}{52}

Cancelling out the 52's from the top and bottom on the left

x = 4

So, number of adult dinosaurs = 4

Number of baby dinosaurs = 3x = 3*4 = 12
