Solve for x and y:

Mathematics
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago

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

ASAP PLEASE HELP I BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 5 HOURS
Luba_88 [7]
So in this case, the solution is where the graphs intersect. Put the equations in y-intercept form.
-4x+y=-6
y=4x-6

8x-2y=14
-2y=14-8x
y=4x-7

These lines have the same slope, which is 4. Therefore, they are parallel. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is NO SOLUTION.

Write the equation of the line slope 2, through (3,1)
Arisa [49]

answer:

y = 2x - 5

work:

to write equations, we use the format y = mx + b.

m stands for the slope, and b stands for the y intercept.

this means that you should be able to enter the values for y and x and get a valid equation as a result.

in this equation, we are not given a y intercept value, but we do have a slope and x and y values, so we have to solve by substituting.

so, let's substitute in the values of y and x and the slope,

and solve for b, the y intercept.

1 = 2(3) + b (multiply 2 x 3)

1 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)

- 5 = b

b has a value of -5. let's place this into the equation.

y = 2x - 5.

the slope is 2, and the y intercept is -5, let's plug in our y and x values to verify that this is true.

1 = 2(3) - 5

1 = 6 - 5

1 = 1

so, this equation is correct. hope this helps and have a great day!
