4x - y = -4 5x = 2y +1 how do I solve this using elimination?

Mathematics

TEA [102]3 years ago

Answer: x=-3, y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

you will leave the first equation alone for now

the second, we will subtract 2y from both sides

5x-2y=1

now you system is

4x-y=-4

5x-2y=1

we will multiply the first equation with -2

-8x+2y=8

5x-2y=1

add both equations, we get -8x+5x=9,  -3x=9,  

x=-3

we will replace x with -3 in any equation, lets use 4x-y=-4,

-12-y= -4,         -y=12-4,                -y=8,         y=-8

8x - 2y = -8
-5x + 2y = -1

3x = -9
x = -3

Find the real solutions of the equation by graphing
Vlada [557]

Answer:

C. 0, 1.29, -0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The real solutions of the equation 19x^3-12x^2-16x=0  is where the graph of y=19x^3-12x^2-16x intersects the x-axis.

This means that we need to graph y=19x^3-12x^2-16x using a graphing software.

From the graph shown in the attachment x=0, x=1.29, and x=-0.65  are the  real solutions.

The correct choice is C

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

If jill and katie share 42 chocolates in the ratio of 3:4 then how may chocolates does jill get?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

jil got 18 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio constants be x,

so, jil has 3x chocolates

katie has 4x chocolates

and we know total chocolates = 42

then,

=》3x + 4x = 42

=》7x = 42

=》x = 42 ÷ 7

=》x = 6

so, jil got 3x = (3 × 6) = 18 chocolates

katie got 4x = (4 × 6) = 24 chocolates
