Answer:
x = 3/2 | y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
- y = 2x - 6. . . .(i)
- y = -4x + 3. . . . (ii)
Substituting from equation (i) for y:
==> 2x - 6 = -4x + 3
==> 2x + 4x = 6 + 3
==> 6x = 9
<em>dividing both </em><em>sides by 3</em><em>:</em>
==> 2x = 3
==> x = 3/2
Substituting 3/2 for x in equation (i):
==> y = 2(3/2) - 6
==> y = 3 - 6
==> y = -3
Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b:
a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1)
0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1:
0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis:
5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides:
-0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left:
0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05
b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and:
42-24= 18 13¢ stamps
Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.
Answer:
y=1 and x= .5
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute
the x has to be solved
they when got the answer
input the answer you got for x into the y and subtract and divide
the answer is one for x
7/12 because it would come out to be 21/36, and the simplified version of that is 7/12<span />
