Answer:

y = -15

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x - 1/2 = 5 (1)

3x + 2/3y = -40 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

1/4x - 1/2 = 5

1/4x * 4 - 1/2y * 4 = 5 * 4

4/4x - 4/2y = 20

x - 2y = 20 (3)

Multiply (2) by 3

3x + 2/3y = -40 (2)

3x * 3 + 2/3y * 3 = -40 * 3

9x + 6/3y = -120

9x + 2y = -120 (4)

x - 2y = 20 (3)

9x + 2y = -120 (4)

Using elimination method, Add (3) and (4)

9x + x = -120 + 20

10x = -100

x = -100/10

x = -10

Substitute x = -10 into (3)

x - 2y = 20 (3)

-10 - 2y = 20

-2y = 20 + 10

-2y = 30

y = 30/-2

y = -15

y = -15

x = -10

You may have noticed that in practice problems related to order, logarithms are usually just "log". As you know from algebra, th
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

A logarithm in one base is a constant multiple of a logarithm in any other base. Any "order of ..." specification does not include the applicable constant multiplier or the smaller order terms that may be required for an exact computation.

The concept of "order of" is similar to the concept of the degree of a polynomial. Knowing the degree of a polynomial tells you something about the "end behavior" as the function argument gets large. The specifics of the scale factor and lower-degree terms become largely irrelevant.
