Solve system by elimination -9x - y =-19 5x + y = 15

Mathematics
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(1, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 9x - y = - 19 → (1)

5x + y = 15 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

- 4x + 0 = - 4

- 4x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

5(1) + y = 15

5 + y = 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

y = 10

solution is (1, 10 )

9. Mark is filling up crates with watermelons for the food drive. He has large watermelons that weigh 10 pounds each and smaller
abruzzese [7]
9. 10x + 5y is the equation for larger watermelons + smaller watermelons (you did not provide information about the medium watermelons, so we must assume given the options you miswrote one of them). We can hold NO MORE than 500 pounds, so 10x + 5y must be smaller than 500. The best answer is C assuming that "5y" represents your "Medium Watermelons"- because smaller watermelons are stated to be 5 and medium ones should therefore be between 5 and 10, the option provided by A wouldn't make since because 3 pounded watermelons are not "medium" in comparison to the "small ones" that are heavier/bigger. Your best option is C, 10x + 5y < 500, the exact answer technically would be 10x + 5y <= 500.

2( 10 - a^2 ) + 7a If ( a = 4 )Evaluate each expression
Lostsunrise [7]

Solution:

Given:

2(10-a^2)+7a

when a = 4, substitute for a in the expression;

\begin{gathered} 2(10-a^2)+7a=2(10-4^2)+7(4) \\ =2(10-16)+28 \\ =2(-6)+28 \\ =-12+28 \\ =16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if (a = 4), then

2(10-a^2)+7a=16

Hence, the answer is 16.

Slav-nsk [51]
Let m be the distance (in miles) she runs in a month
and w be the distance (in miles) she runs in a week

since the total distance she run in a week is one third of what she run in a month, in equation form
w = m/3

to calculate the distance she run  in a month,
m = 3w
m = 3(6 miles)
m = 18 miles in a month
