SOLVING SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS BY SUBSTITUTION. 1. 2x+3y=1 -3x+y=15

ohaa [14]

$2x+3y=1 \\
-3x+y=15 \\ \\
\hbox{from the 2nd equation:} \\
-3x+y=15 \\
y=15+3x \\ \\
\hbox{substitute 15+3x for y in the 1st equation:} \\
2x+3(15+3x)=1 \\
2x+45+9x=1 \\
9x+2x=1-45 \\
11x=-44 \\
x=-4 \\ \\
\hbox{solve one of the equations for y}: \\
2x+3y=1 \\
2 \cdot (-4) + 3y=1 \\
-8+3y=1 \\
3y=1+8 \\
3y=9 \\
y=3 \\ \\
\hbox{the answer:} \\
x=-4 \\
y=3$

Given the coordinates below, what is the midpoint of AB? A(-6, -10) B(2,5)

madreJ [45]

Given :

$\:$

A(-6, -10)
B( 2, 5)

$\:$

$\gray{ \frak{The \: given \: two \: \: points \: are(x_{1 },y_{1})=(−6 , -10)and(x_{ 2 },y_{2} )=( 2,5 )\:}}$

$\:$

Let's solve by using midpoint formula :

$\:$

$\bf \boxed{\color{red}\frak{Midpoint \: \: Formula : {( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{x_{1 } + y_{1}}{2} , \frac{x_{2 } + y_{2}}{2} )}}}$

$\:$

$\large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{ -6 + 2}{2} , \frac{ - 10 + 5}{2} )}}$

$\:$

$\: \large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \frac{ -4}{2} , \frac{ - 5}{2} )}}$

$\:$

$\large \gray{ \frak{( \: x ,\:y \: ) = }( \frak{ \cancel\frac{ -4}{2} , \cancel\frac{ - 5}{2} )}}$

$\: \:$

$\underline{ \boxed{ \large \red{ \frak{option \: d }( \frak{ - 2, - 2.5)}}}}✓$

Hope Helps! :)

It takes buddy 15 minutes to make a halfway decent looking origami swan and Ambrose 20 minutes to do the same. Working together,

It would take them 25 minutes

A team has 3 wins for every loss they loss games how many did they win??

OLEGan [10]

The team has lost only 6 games (according to the comments). Let's say "x" is the amount of losses and "y" is the amount of wins.

For every loss, they have 3 wins, so in the end, this would be the equation:
$y = 3x$
or
$y = 3 \times x$
Although the first one would be the easier and most understandable to read.

So:
y = 3(6)
would equal
18

What is 4 3/8 - 2 2/3

docker41 [41]

6/3 + 2/3 = (6 + 2)/3:
4 + 3/8 - (6 + 2)/3

6 + 2 = 8:
4 + 3/8 - 8/3

Put 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 over the common denominator 24. 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 = (24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24:
(24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24

24×4 = 96:
96/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24

3×3 = 9:
96/24 + 9/24 + (8 (-8))/24

8 (-8) = -64:
96/24 + 9/24 + (-64)/24

96/24 + 9/24 - 64/24 = (96 + 9 - 64)/24:
(96 + 9 - 64)/24

| 1 |
| 9 | 6
+ | | 9
1 | 0 | 5:
(105 - 64)/24

| 0 | 10 |
| 1 | 0 | 5
- | | 6 | 4

| 0 | 4 | 1:
Answer: 41/24 or decimal 1.70833333.....
