Solve the system of linear equations by substitution

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(-4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation (work shown in attached picture):

1) Since x is already isolated in the first equation, substitute that value for x into the other equation to find y. So, substitute 16-4y for the x in 3x + 4y = 8, then solve for y. This gives us y = 5.

2) Now, substitute that given value for y back into any one of the equations to find x. I chose to do it in the first equation. Substitute 5 for the y in x = 16-4y, then solve for x this time. This gives us x = -4.

Since x = -4 and y = 5, the solution is (-4, 5).

Jones covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip. On a later trip he traveled 300 miles while going three times as fast. H
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.

We know that

Speed = Distance/Time.

Or, Time = Distance/Speed.

So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.

And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.

= 100/x hr.

So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.

Have a great day :)
