Simultaneous EQUATION 3x+2y=16 2x+y=9 PLS HELP I need answer quickly

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = 16 → (1)

2x + y = 9 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 4x - 2y = - 18 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- x = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

3(2) + 2y = 16

6 + 2y = 16 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2y = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )_

y = 5

solution is (2, 5 )

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an inequality A family has less than $200 to spend on groceries. Use x as a variable​
diamong [38]

Answer:

$200 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

The family has less than $200 to spend on groceries, so x will be less than that amount, so the "greater than" sign will point to $200 because $200 will be greater than x (see above

In a store, 9/200 of the shirts are pink and 69/600 are orange. What percent of the shirts are not pink or orange?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of pink shirts

= 9/200 × 100%

= 9/2

= 4.5%

The percentage of orange shirts

= 69/600 × 100%

= 69/6

= 11.5%

The percentage of the shirts which are not pink or orange

= 1 - 4.5% - 11.5%

= 84%

<u>Alternative</u>

Find their common denominator.

9/200

= 9×3 / 200×3

= 27/600

The total percentage of shirts in pink and orange

= (27/600 + 69/600) × 100%

= 96/600 × 100%

= 16%

The percentage of the shirts which are not pink or orange

= 1 - 16%

= 84%
