Answer:

(4, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + y = 14 → (1)

7x - 4y = 20 → (2)

Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides

y = 14 - 3x → (3)

Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)

7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

7x - 56 + 12x = 20

19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )

19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2

solution is (4, 2 )

Answer:

3x + y = 14 \\ y = 14 - 3x \\ substitute  \: y \: into \: equation \: 2\\  7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 \\ 7x - 56 + 12x = 20 \\ 19x = 76 \\ x =  \frac{76}{19}   =4 \\ y = 14 - 3( 4 )  = 2 \\

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

-0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x = 3y + -4

Reorder the terms:

5x = -4 + 3y

Solving

5x = -4 + 3y

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '5'.

x = -0.8 + 0.6y

Simplifying

x = -0.8 + 0.6y

The perimeter of Dawna's new flat screen television is 112 inches. The ratio of its length to width is 4:3. Write and solve an a
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The dimensions are length=32 inches and width=24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that perimeter of a rectangle is

P  = 2(w + l)

The ratio of its length to width is 4:3.

This implies that,

\frac{l}{w}  =  \frac{4}{3}  \\ l =  \frac{4}{3} w

We substitute P=112 inches, and l in terms of w to get;

112 = 2(w +  \frac{4}{3}w)

56 = w +   \frac{4}{3}w

168 = 3w + 4w

7w = 168

w =  \frac{168}{7}  = 24

The length is

l =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 24 = 32

El área de un cuadrado es de 625cm. Averigua cuánto mide el lado y cuánto mide el perímetro del cuadrado
Rzqust [24]

Respuesta:

Largo del lado = 25cm

Perímetro = 100 cm

Explicación paso a paso:

Área de un cuadrado = L²

L es la longitud del lado del cuadrado

Dado

Área del cuadrado = 625sq. cm

625 = L²

L = √625

L = 25

Por lo tanto, el lado mide 25 cm de largo.

Perímetro del cuadrado = 4L

Perímetro del cuadrado = 4 (25)

Perímetro del cuadrado = 100cm

Por lo tanto, el perímetro del cuadrado es de 100 cm.
