Solve for x and y:

Mathematics
1 answer:
boyakko [2]4 years ago
8 0

This is a system of equation:


7y - 5x = 31

x = 4 - 2y


Plug in 4 - 2y for x


7y - 5(4 - 2y) = 31


Distribute -5 to both 4 and -2y


7y - 20 + 10y = 31


Simplify


17y - 20 = 31


Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.


Add 20 to both sides


17y - 20 (+20) = 31 (+20)


17y = 51


Divide 17 from both sides to isolate the y


17y/17 = 51/17


y = 51/17 or 3


y = 3


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Plug in 3 for y in one of the equations.


x=4−2y


x = 4 - 2(3)


Simplify.


x = 4 - 6


x = -2


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


x = -2, y = 3 is your answer, or B)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


hope this helps

M=3 and through (2, -1) in slope-intercept
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

y = 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 6 = - 7

y = 3x - 7 ← equation of line

There are 17 camels I want to divide 3 person if the first one belongs 1/2 The second one belongs 1/3 and the third one belongs
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

  1. 9 camels
  2. 6 camels
  3. 2 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.

The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.

The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.

The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.

The one remaining is returned to me.

  • 1st person: 9 camels
  • 2nd person: 6 camels
  • 3rd person: 2 camels

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.
