2x + y = 20
-5y = -6x + 12
To use the substitution method, first isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.
Isolate the "y" in the first equation (because it is the easiest to isolate), and substitute it into the second equation:
2x + y = 20 Subtract 2x on both sides
y = 20 - 2x
-5y = -6x + 12 (since y = 20 - 2x, you can substitute 20 - 2x into y)
-5(20 - 2x) = -6x + 12 Multiply -5 into (20 - 2x)
-100 + 10x = -6x +12 Add 100 on both sides
10x = -6x + 112 Add 6x on both sides
16x = 112 Divide 16 on both sides
x = 7
Now that you have found x, you can substitute 7 into x for one of the original equations:
2x + y = 20
2(7) + y = 20
14 + y = 20 Subtract 14 on both sides
y = 6
-5y = -6x + 12
-5y = -6(7) + 12
-5y = -42 + 12
-5y = -30 Divide -5 on both sides
y = 6
x = 7, y = 6
Answer 4.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A) In 4 hours the tempature would both be the same
B) The tempature then would be 3 degreees Fahrenheit
Step-by-step explanation:
SO for the first step just make a list
In my format
x (hour): Coldspit and Frostberg in temperature
1st hour: -4.5 and 15
2nd hour: -2 and 11
3rd hour: 0.5 and 7
4th hour: 3 and 3
1/2 s + 3/4 s + 1/4 s + 4
((2+3+1)/4)s +4
6/4 s + 4
3/2 s + 4
The way you wrote the problem makes the answer 330,600. I think your decimals were meant to be commas. If I am wrong, please forgive me.
