I need help 6x-2y=10 x-2y=-5 solve by elimination

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the system of equations.

\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\ x - 2y =  - 5 \end{cases}

  • Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.

To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.

\begin{cases} 6x - 2y = 10 \\  - x  +  2y =  5 \end{cases}

There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.

(6x - x) + ( - 2y + 2y) = 10 + 5 \\ 5x + 0 = 15 \\ 5x = 15 \\ x =  \frac{15}{5}  \longrightarrow  \frac{ \cancel{15}}{ \cancel{5}}  =  \frac{3}{1}  \\ x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.

x - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 + 5 = 2y \\ 8 = 2y \\  \frac{8}{2}  = y \\ y =  \frac{8}{2} \longrightarrow  \frac{ \cancel{8}}{ \cancel{2}}  =  \frac{4}{1}  \\ y = 4

Hence, the value of y is 4. Therefore, we can say that when x = 3, y = 4.

  • Answer Check by substituting both x and y values in both equations.

<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

6x - 2y = 10 \\ 6(3) - 2(4) = 10 \\ 18 - 8 = 10 \\ 10  = 10 \longrightarrow \sf{true} \:  \green{ \checkmark}

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

x - 2y =  - 5 \\ 3 - 2(4) =  - 5 \\ 3 - 8 =  - 5 \\  - 5 =  - 5 \longrightarrow  \sf{true} \:  \green{ \checkmark}

Hence, both equations are true for x = 3 and y = 4. Therefore, the solution is (3,4)

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

\begin{cases} x = 3 \\ y = 4 \end{cases} \\  \sf \underline{Coordinate \:  \: Form} \\ (3,4)

Does this set of ordered pairs form a function?
zhenek [66]

Considering that each input is related to only one output, the correct option regarding whether the relation is a function is:

A. yes.

<h3>When does a relation represent a function?</h3>

A relation represents a function when each value of the input is mapped to only one value of the output.

For this problem, we have that:

  • The input is a number.
  • The output is an activity.

There are no repeated inputs, hence the relation is a function and option A is correct.

Can someone plz help me it is timed I will give Brainliest IF IT IS CORRECT
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

C. 1.15<em>x</em> because adding 15% to the cost of the haircut is the same as multiplying the cost by 1.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer is correct because, adding 0.15x (or 15%) to the total amount is the same as multiplying the cost by 1.15. This is because, the 1 that is added to 0.15 represents the total, since we are just multiplying instead of adding to it.

Hope this helps! :D

Otrada [13]

It will take 8 hours to drive 120 miles at a speed of 15 miles per hour. Hi Mia, If you drive 15 mi per hour, you will be covering 15 miles each other you travel. If you know the total distance traveled, then you can simply divide it by speed to get the time it takes to cover that distance. explanation:
