Answer:

(15, 11 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 26 → (1)

3x + y = 56 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y, that is

2x = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 15

Substitute x = 15 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

15 + y = 26 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

y = 11

solution is (15, 11 )

Answer:

x= 15 and y= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal here is to solve

x + y =26 and

3x + y =56 for the variables x and y.

First, let's work on your first equation, x + y =26

After this initial survey of the equations, the system of equations we'll set out to solve is:

x+y = 26 and 3x+y = 56

Let's start by solving x+y = 26 for the variable x.

Move the y to the right hand side by subtracting y from both sides, like this:

From the left hand side:

y - y = 0

The answer is x

From the right hand side:

The answer is 26-y

Now, the equation reads:

x = 26-y

To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the equation by the other variables

around the x on the left side of the equation.

and this is the final solution to your equation.

Next, let's solve 3x+y = 56 for the variable y.

Move the 3x to the right hand side by subtracting 3x from both sides, like this:

From the left hand side:

3x - 3x = 0

The answer is y

From the right hand side:

The answer is 56-3x

Now, the equation reads:

y = 56-3x

To isolate the y, we have to divide both sides of the equation by the other variables

around the y on the left side of the equation.

and this is the final solution to your equation.

Now, plug the earlier result, x=26-y, in for x everywhere it occurs in

y=56-3x.

This gives y=56-3(26-y). Now all we have to do is solve this for y,to have our first solution.

26-y evaluates to 26-y

Multiply 3 by 26-y

we multiply 3 by each term in 26-y term by term.

This is the distributive property of multiplication.

Multiply 3 and 26

1

3 × 26 = 78

Multiply 3 and -y

Multiply 1 and y

The y just gets copied along.

y

3 × -y = -3y

3*(26-y) evaluates to 78-3y

56 - 78 = -22

The answer is -22+3y

56-3*(26-y) evaluates to -22+3y

Move the 3y to the left hand side by subtracting 3y from both sides, like this:

From the left hand side:

y - 3y = -2y

The answer is -2y

From the right hand side:

3y - 3y = 0

The answer is -22

Now, the equation reads:

-2y = -22

To isolate the y, we have to divide both sides of the equation by the other variables

around the y on the left side of the equation.

The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by -2 like this:

To divide y by 1

The y just gets copied along in the numerator.

The answer is y

-2y ÷ -2 = y

-22 ÷ -2 = 11

The solution to your equation is:

y = 11

Lastly, to find the solution for x, we plug this answer for y into the earlier result that

x=26-y.

This gives x=26-(11). Now, simplify this.

26-(11) evaluates to 15

x= 15

So, the solutions to your equations are:

x= 15 and y= 11

Write an equation of the line that passes through (1,-2) and (-5,4)
denis23 [38]

Answer: x+y+1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

 = 4-(-2) /-5-1

 =6/-6

 =-1

equation of line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2) =-1(x-1)

y+2=-x+1

x-1+y+2=0

x+y+11=0

What is the value of 1/2 of 2/3 of 3/4 of 4/5 of 5/6 of 6/7 of 7/8 of 8/9 of 9/10 of 1000?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

it's 100

Step-by-step explanation:

9/10 of 1000 is 900, 8/9 of 900 is 800, 7/8 of 800 is 700, 6/7 of 700 is 600, 5/6 of 600 is 500, 4/5 of 500 is 400, 3/4 of 400 is 300, 2/3 of 300 is 200, and 1/2 of 200 is 100 which makes 100 the value of 1/2 of 2/3 of 3/4 of 4/5 of 5/6 of 6/7 of 7/8 of 8/9 of 9/10 of 1000? I hope this makes sense.
