Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

x - 4y = 12

x - 5y = 15

Step 2: Solve for y

Elimination

Subtract 2 equations: y = -3

Step 3: Solve for x

Define original equation: x - 4y = 12
Substitute in y: x - 4(-3) = 12
Multiply: x + 12 = 12
Subtract 12 on both sides: x = 0

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 4 = 20 and arrives at the correct solution?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a) Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is $x=12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 4 = 20 and arrives at the correct solution?

a) Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12.

b) Divide both sides by −4, and then subtract 2. The solution is x = −7.

c) Subtract 4 from both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −12.

d) Multiply both sides by −4, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −40.

Solution:

Given equation:

$2x-4=20$

We need to determine the steps in order to solve for $x$ .

Solving for $x$ .

Step 1: Adding 4 both sides.

$2x-4+4=20+4$

$2x=24$

Step 2: Dividing both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24}{2}$

∴ $x=12$

Thus, we added 4 both sides and then divided both sides by 2 to get solution = 12

If Mitzi has two dogs, a puppy that weighs 25 pounds and an adult that weighs 80 pounds, how much will it cost to bathe them bot

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) $105

Step-by-step explanation:

In this real-world problem, the cost to groom both dogs is (the puppy) + (the adult dog) = x.

For the first step, y = 40, if x <= 25.

y = 50, if 25 < x < 50.

if x >= 50, then y = 0.50x + 25

So therefore, substitute the puppy + adult dog = x

25 + 80 = x

105 = x

So, the final answer is $105.

It's on Edgen.
