Write an equation to show the relationship between 7 meters and .007 kilometers

1 answer:

7 0

So:

1000 meters = 1 kilometer,

So we can use the ratio 1km/1000m
Thus,

.007 kilometers*(1000m/1km) = 7 meters

So the equation is:
.007 kilometers = 7 meters
or
.007km = 7m

Solve the Equation 2x-3=14 -x+3y=-6

andriy [413]

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lost "y" in the first equation.

$\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x-3y=14\\-x+3y=-6\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\\\.\qquad x=8\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\2(8)-3y=14\\16-3y=14\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\-3y=-2\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\boxed{x=8,\ y=\dfrac{2}{3}}$

If first equation is correct.

$2x-3=14\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2x=17\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\x=8.5\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\-8.5+3y=-6\qquad\text{add 8.5 to both sides}\\3y=2.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\y=\dfrac{2.5}{3}\\y=\dfrac{25}{30}\\y=\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\boxed{x=8.5,\ y=\dfrac{5}{6}}$
