Solve the system by substitution 5x+y=-10. 4x-7y=-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
storchak [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = -10

4x - 7y = -8

Rearrange the first equation to equal y.

5x + y = -10

y = -10 - 5x

Replace y in the second equation with the first equation.

4x - 7y = -8

4x - 7(-10 - 5x) = -8

4x - (-70 -35x) = -8

4x + 70 + 35x = -8

Rearrange the equation to find x.

4x + 35x = -8 - 70

39x = -78

x = -2

Now that you know x, use the rearranged first equation to find y.

y = -10 - 5x

y = -10 - 5(-2)

y = -10 + 10

y = 0

Solve the system of equations. y = -5x + 24 y = 4x - 21 a. ( -5, -1) c. ( -1, 5) b. ( 5, -1) d. No solution
Svetlanka [38]

y = -5x + 24

y = 4x - 21

Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.

So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.

-5x + 24 = 4x - 21

Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24

-5x = 4x - 45

Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side

-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45

-9x = -45

Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself

(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)

x = 5

Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.

Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y

y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21

(I'll do both but u only need one)

y = -5(5) + 24

y = -25 + 24

y = -1

y = 4(5) - 21

y = 20 - 21

y = -1

Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1

Answer (5, -1)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the given pair of points. (-6,5), (-9,0)
11111nata11111 [884]
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b  because m=slope and b=y-intercept hence "slope intercept form"...

m=deltay/deltax=(0-5)/(-9--6)=-5/-3=5/3 so far we have now:

y=5x/3 +b, using any point, I'll use (-9,0) we can now solve for b or the y-intercept...

0=-9(5)/3 +b

0=-15+b, so b=15 and our line is:

y=5x/3 + 15 or more neatly

y=(5x+45)/3

The left and right page numbers of an open book are two consecutive integers whose sum is 321
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

160,160

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first page be X

second one be x+1

x+x+1=321

2x=320

x= 320÷2=160

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-1) and (8,5)?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

y=3/2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where  m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

we are given two points: (4,-1) and (8,5)

the equation for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

label the points:

x1=4

y1=-1

x2=8

y2=5

now substitute into the equation:

m=(5--1)/(8-4)

m=6/4

m=3/2

the slope of the line is 3/2

here is our equation so far:

y=3/2x+b

we need to find b

since the equation will pass through the points, we can substitute either one into the equation to find b

let's use (4,-1) as an example

substitute into the equation

-1=3/2(4)+b

-1=6+b

-7=b

the y intercept is -7

so the equation is y=3/2x-7

hope this helps!
