Answer:

x = 3, y = 7

or (3,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the system of equations below:

\large{ \begin{cases} 2x - y =  - 1 \\ 3x - y = 2 \end{cases}}

We are required to solve the system by substitution method. What we have to do is to isolate either x-term or y-term so we can use the method. I will be isolating y-term because it is faster due to having 1 as a coefficient.

By isolating y-term, just pick one of the given equations to isolate. No need to isolate the whole system. (I will be isolating y-term of the first equation.)

\large{ \begin{cases} y=  2x + 1\\ 3x - y = 2 \end{cases}}

Then we substitute y = 2x+1 in the second equation.

\large{3x - (2x + 1) = 2}

Use the distribution property.

\large{3x - 2x - 1 = 2}

Isolate x-term to solve the equation.

\large{x = 2 + 1} \\  \large{x = 3}

Since we are solving a system of equations. We have to solve for both x-value and y-value to complete. We have already found x-value, but nor y-value yet. Therefore, our next step is to substitute the value of x that we solved in any given equations. It's recommended to substitute in an equation that doesn't have high coefficient value. So I will be substituting x = 3 in the first equation.

\large{2x - y =  - 1}  \\  \large{2(3) - y =  - 1} \\  \large{6 - y =  - 1}

Isolate and solve for y-term.

\large{6 + 1 = y} \\  \large{7 = y} \\  \large{y = 7}

Since we substitute x = 3 and get y = 7. We can write in ordered pairs as (3,7)

Hence, the solution is (3,7)

Answer:

n = -1.825

Step-by-step explanation:

8n + 16.2 = 1.6 (Given)

8n = -14.6 (Subtract 16.2 on both sides)

n = -1.825 (Divide 8 on both sides)

8x+y=300
Bond [772]
D. The elevator takes 37.5 seconds to move down to the lobby.


8x+y=300

y= 300-8x
y= 300 - 8 (37.5)

y = 300-300
y = 0

wheb y =0 that means that the height is 0
