Solve the system by substitution. y = -4x 23 - 5y = 44

Mathematics
1 answer:
spin [16.1K]3 years ago
5 0
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the system of equations.

\begin{cases} y =  - 4x \\ 23 - 5y = 44 \end{cases}

  • Substitute y = -4x in the second equation.

23 - 5( - 4x) = 44 \\ 23 + 20x = 44 \\ 20x = 44 - 23 \\ 20x = 21 \\ x =  \frac{21}{20}

  • Substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the first equation.

y =  - 4x \Longrightarrow y =  - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\ y =   \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \Longrightarrow y =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \\ y =  -  \frac{21}{5}

  • Answer Check by substituting both values in two equations.

<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

y =  - 4x \Longrightarrow  -  \frac{21}{5}  =  - 4( \frac{21}{20} ) \\  -  \frac{21}{5}  =   \cancel{ - 4}( \frac{21}{ \cancel{20}} ) \\  -  \frac{21}{5}  =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \:  \:   \: \checkmark

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

23 - 5y = 44 \\ 23 - 5( -  \frac{21}{5} ) = 44 \\23 -  \cancel{5}( -  \frac{21}{ \cancel{5}} ) = 44 \\ 23 + 21 = 44 \\ 44 = 44 \:  \:  \:  \:  \checkmark

Both equations are true for the value of x and value of y.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\begin{cases} x =  \frac{21}{20}  \\ y =  -  \frac{21}{5}  \end{cases}</u>

<u>Coordinate</u><u> </u><u>Point</u><u> </u><u>form</u>

<u>( \frac{21}{20} , -  \frac{21}{5} )</u>

Describe the error then simplify the expression correctly.<br><br> -5(3+6)=-15+30<br> =15
Rama09 [41]

Answer: 30 should be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

when having an equation like that, you must multiply -5 by 3, which equals to -15, then multiply-5 by 6 which then equals to -30. The correct equation should be -5(3+6)= -15+-30= -45


I think this should be correct, hope this helps!
