2x – 3y = -5

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y = 2+x ------- (2)

substitute (2) into (1)

2x-3y = -5

2x-3( 2+x ) = -5

2x-6-x = -5

2x-x = -5+6

x = 1

substitute x = 1 into (2)

y = 2+x

y = 2+1

y = 3

Terry and Callie do word processing. For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can. If they wor

Dahasolnce [82]

Time taken by jerry alone is 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone is 8.1 hours

Solution:

Given:- For a certain prospectus Callie can prepare it two hours faster than Terry can

Let the time taken by Terry be "a" hours

So, the time taken by Callie will be (a-2) hours

Hence, the efficiency of Callie and Terry per hour is $\frac{1}{a-2} \text { and } \frac{1}{a} \text { respectively }$

If they work together they can do the entire prospectus in five hours

$\text {So, } \frac{1}{a-2}+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross-multiplication we get,

$\frac{a+(a-2)}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{2 a-2}{(a-2) \times a}=\frac{1}{5}$

On cross multiplication ,we get

$\begin{array}{l}{5 \times(2 a-2)=a \times(a-2)} \\\\ {10 a-10=a^{2}-2 a} \\\\ {a^{2}-2 a-10 a+10=0} \\\\ {a^{2}-12 a+10=0}\end{array}$

using quadratic formula:-

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144-40}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm \sqrt{104}}{2}} \\\\ {x=\frac{12 \pm 2 \sqrt{26}}{2}} \\\\ {x=6 \pm \sqrt{26}=6 \pm 5.1} \\\\ {x=10.1 \text { or } x=0.9}\end{array}$

If we take a = 0.9, then while calculating time taken by callie = a - 2 we will end up in negative value

Let us take a = 10.1

So time taken by jerry alone = a = 10.1 hours

Time taken by callie alone = a - 2 = 10.1 - 2 = 8.1 hours
