Answer:

1) The  series of equations that can be used to find the numbers are

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) The first number is 6

The second number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters for the numbers are;

7 times the first number + 3 times the 2nd number = 54

The first number = The 2nd number + 2

Let 'x' represent the first number and let 'y' represent the second number

The following series of equations can therefore be used in finding the numbers;

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) By substituting the value of x = y + 2 from equation (2) into equation (1) gives;

7·x + 3·y = 54

∴ 7×(y + 2) + 3·y = 54

7·y + 14 + 3·y = 54

10·y + 14 = 54

10·y = 54 - 14 = 40

y = 40/10 = 4

The second number = y = 4

The first number, x = y + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

The first number, x = 6.

In order to solve the system of linear equations, the coefficients of one of the variables must be the same number but opposite
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number  so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.

it does not matter which variable you choose.

lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.

so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.

2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6

(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)

4x+6y=12

now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6

-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)

-15x-6y=-12

now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out

4x+6y=12

-15x-6y=-12

-11x=0

x=0

now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.

2(0)+3y=6

3y=6

y=2

so your answer is x=0, y=2
