Answer:

x=8

Y=2

or

(x,y)=(8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6y=20

x+3y=14

solve the equation for x

x+6y=20

x=14-3y

substitute the given value of x into the equation

x+6y=20

14-3y+6y=20

14+3y=20

3y=20-14

3y=6

3y/3=6/3

y=2.

substitute the given value of y into the equation

x=14-3y

x=14-3×2

x=14-6

x=8.

the possible solution of the system is the <u>ordered</u><u> </u><u>pair</u> (x,y)

(x,y)=(8,2)

or

x=8

Y=2

Proof:

Check if the given <u>order</u><u>ed</u><u> </u><u>pair</u> is the solution of the system of equations

8+6×2=20

8+3×2=14

simply the equalities

20=20

14=14

since all of the equalities are true, the <u>ordere</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>pair</u> is the solution of the system

(x,y)=(8,2)

Answer:

x = 8, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the second equation by -2:

x + 6y = 20

-2x - 6y = -28

Add the equations and simplify:

-x = -8

x = 8

Plug x = 8 back into the first equation and solve for y:

8 + 6y = 20

6y = 12

y = 2

I don't understand the substitution method?

It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5

the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.
timurjin [86]
To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10  The sale tax rate is 7%.

Davens pays $50 each week for guitar lessons. How much will he pay after 3/4 of a year
Alja [10]
You’ve got to work out 3/4 of the year first, that’s 75%, after you need to work out how many weeks are in those days so you divide it by 7 then divide that answer by $50 and hopefully you get your answer. hope this helps
