Answer:
The solution of the linear equation is: (6,7)
Step-by-step explanation:
This being that:
x + y = 13
1/2x + y = 10
What you do in order to find the solution is either (2 ways):
- Substitution
- Elimination
I'm sure that either way, you'll get the same thing. I used: Substitution.
To do this choose either if you want to find [x] or [y] first, then substitute it in. I will choose to find [x] first.
<h2>x + y = 13</h2><h2><u> - y </u> </h2><h2>x = 13 - y</h2>
Now substitute it into:
1/2x + y = 10
1/2(13 - y) + y = 10
1/2(13 -y) + y= 10
<h2>Then to get rid of fraction, instead of dividing, you multiply with reciprocal</h2><h2>1/2 · 2/1 (They cancel out) Leaving you with:</h2><h3 /><h3>(13 - y) 2(y) = 2(10)</h3><h3>(Everything is multiplied, except for 13 - y, because it had parenthesis to protect it.)</h3><h3>13 - y + 2y = 20</h3><h3 /><h2>13 + y = 20</h2><h2><u>- 13 - 13</u></h2><h2> <u>y = 7</u></h2><h2 /><h2>You now have your [y] for your coordinate.</h2><h2>(x, 7), now time to find your [x]</h2><h2 />
Now you substitute your [y] into your equation:
1/2x + (7) = 10
<h2>
1/2x + 7 = 10</h2><h2><u>
-7 = -7</u></h2><h2>
1/2x = 3</h2><h2>
(To get rid of fraction, multiply on both sides with reciprocal)</h2><h2>
1/2 cancels out with 2/1</h2><h2>
x = 2(3)</h2><h2>
x = 6</h2><h2>You now have your [x] coordinate.</h2><h2 /><h2>This is your coordinate: </h2><h2>(6,7)</h2><h2>
</h2>
1 cup is equivalent to 8 ounces multiply both by 5.25 and you get 5.25 cups equals 42 ounces meaning you can fill 4, 10 ounce glasses.
Answer:
<em><u>First part: </u></em><em><u>0.35 miles per minute</u></em>
<em><u>Second part: </u></em><em><u>3.5 miles in 10 minutes</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Think about this as a fraction. Fractions can't be added nor subtracted unless they share the same denominator.</em> So for this case, we have to turn hours into minutes. So 21 mph becomes 21 miles per 60 minutes. Then, we divide 60 from each side to find the speed per minute. 21/60 = 0.35, so the answer to the first part is <u>0.35 miles per minute</u>.
<u>Using what we got</u>, we can answer the second part of the distance covered in 10 minutes. So, we just <em><u>multiply</u></em> 0.35 by 10 which is <u>3.5 miles covered in 10 minutes</u>.
