Solve by canceling -5x+8y=-4 6x-8y=-12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+8y=-4

6x-8y=-12   8y and 8x cancel out

         x=-16

To solve for y, substitute x=-16 back into the first equation

-5(-16)+8y=-4

    80+8y=-4

          8y=-84

            y=-10.5

Suppose you have entered an 85​-mile biathlon that consists of a run and a bicycle race. during your​ run, your average velocity
belka [17]
X= number of hours in run
y = number of hours in bike race

9x+29y=85
x+y=5, and y=5-x

Substituting 5-x for y in the first equation, we have 9x+ 29(5-x)=85 and 9x+145-29x=85, then subtracting 145 from both sides to get -20x=-60 and x=3, which is the amount of hours in the running race. Multiply that by 9 miles per hour to get 27 miles

Solve for k.<br><br> 18 = 10 + 2k<br><br> k =
slavikrds [6]

18 = 10 + 2k

move 10 to the other side

sign changes from +10 to -10

18-10=10-10+2k

18-10= 2k

8= 2k

divide by 2 to get k by itself

8/2= 2k/2

Cross out 2 and 2 , divide by 2 and then becomes 1*1*k= k

k=8/2

Answer: k= 4
