2x-y=-1 , 3x-y=2 solve by substition

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)

They are different equations lol. If you plug in the same x and y for both you wont get the same answer. Do you have answer choices?

Stanley, the skunk, is traveling from point A to point B by taking a shortcut through the pond.A path that avoids the pond is 25
san4es73 [151]
Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.

This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.

If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.

The entertainment committee voted to hire a DJ for the school dance. The DJ
nydimaria [60]
A 4 hours

This is because if you create the equation using $75 which is the starting fee and then $30 for every hour of playing music.

Equation: 75+30h<200
You subtract 75 from 200 and the divide that number by 200 you will get a decimal but you look at your answer choices and choose the closest number to your answer.

Find the length and area of rectangle whose diagonal is =26cm and breath is =10cm​
givi [52]

Answer:

240cm²

explanation

Diagonal ²=Length ²+breath ²

26²=10²+length ²

676=100+length ²

576=length ²

length=24cm

Area of a rectangle=length×breath

Area=24×10

=240cm²
