4x - 3y = 12 4x - 5y = -4 Solve using Elimination

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

${ \rm{4x - 3y = 12 - - - \{eqn(a) \}}} \\ { \rm{4x - 5y = - 4 - - - \{eqn(b) \}}}$

• subtract eqn(b) from eqn(a);

${ \underline{ \rm{ - \binom{4x - 3y = 12}{4x - 5y = - 4} }}} \\ { \rm{0x + 2y = 16}} \\ \\ { \rm{2y = 16}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: \: y = 8 \: \: }}} \\$

• find x :

${ \rm{4x - 3y = 12}} \\ { \rm{4x - 3(8) = 12}} \\ { \rm{4x = 36}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{ \: \: x = 9 \: \: }}}$

Twenty seven pears are packed in bags of three. Five bags of pears are sold. How many pears are left

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

$Pears\ Left = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Pears = 27$

$Bags\ Sold = 5$

Required

Determine the number of bags sold

First, we need to determine the number of bags for 27 pears;

Since they are packed in 3s

$Bags = 27/3$

$Bags = 9$

Hence:

9 bags were used for 27 pears;

After 5 bags were sold, we have:

$Bags\ Left = 9 - 5$

$Bags\ Left = 4$

Recall that the pears are packed in 3s

So:

$Pears\ Left = 4 * 3$

$Pears\ Left = 12$
