Answer:
x= 29/11 or y= 25/11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y= 3 ...........equation 1
x + 5y= 14 ............equation 2
Make x the subject of the formula in equation 2
x= 14 - 5y ..............equation 3
Substitute x=14 - 5y in equation 1
2(14- 5y) - y=3
28 - 10y - y=3
Collect like terms
-10y - y=3 - 28
-11y= -25
divide both sides by coefficient of y
-11y/-11 = -25/-11
y= 25/11
Substitute y= 25/11 in equation 3
x=14 - 5(25/11)
x= 14 - 125/11
x= 29/11

Answer:

Answer:

x= 29/11 or y= 25/11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y= 3 ...........equation 1

x + 5y= 14 ............equation 2

Make x the subject of the formula in equation 2

x= 14 - 5y ..............equation 3

Substitute x=14 - 5y in equation 1

2(14- 5y) - y=3

28 - 10y - y=3

Collect like terms

-10y - y=3 - 28

-11y= -25

divide both sides by coefficient of y

-11y/-11 = -25/-11

y= 25/11

Substitute y= 25/11 in equation 3

x=14 - 5(25/11)

x= 14 - 125/11

x= 29/11

Determine the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation 6x-4y= 30

UNO [17]

6x - 4y = 30
-4y = -6x + 30
y = 3/2x - 15/2....slope here is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3 (see how I flipped 3/2 making it 2/3...and then changed the sign, making it -2/3)

answer : perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3.

If AB = x+ 4, BC = 2x -10 and AC

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the diagram, you can see the sum of segment AB and segment BC is segment AC. Adding the given expressions for AB and B is $3x-6$ . Simplifying the equation $3x-6=2x+1$ , gives $x=7$ . Substituting $x=7$ in the equation for segment AC gives 15.
