Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24
now use elimination
-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2
we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation
3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4
so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4
Should we simplify or solve for m...?
John wanted to go on a train. the equation y=9/5 x describes the number of miles y that a train travels in x minutes. what is the constant speed of the train in terms of hours?
The constant speed of the train is 108 miles per hour
Let S be the sum,
S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n
Reverse the order of terms:
S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2
Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is
2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)
or
2S = n (2n + 2)
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :
S = n (n + 1)
3/6 is the answer
3/6is 0.50 and 2/5 is 0.40
Just divide them
