<h3>How to resolve word problems involving linear equations</h3>

In this question we find word problems involving linear equations, in each case we need to understand the statement, derive mathematical equations and looking for corresponding solutions by algebraic means. Now we proceed to solve for each case:

Case 1

A variable is found herein and we need to resolve on this linear equation: (x - A number)

(x + 8) / 4 = 1 + (1 / 3) · x

(1 / 4) · x + 2 = 1 + (1 / 3) · x

1 = (1 / 12) · x

x = 12

The number is 12.

Case 2

A variable is found herein and we need to resolve on this linear equation: (x - Number of passengers per row)

30 · x + 12 = 222

30 · x = 210

x = 7

There are 7 passengers in a row.

Case 3

Three variables are found herein and we need to resolve on these linear equations: (x - Water consumed by Carol, y - Water consumed by Xavier, z - Water consumed by Keela)

z = 2 · x (1)

y = z + 100 (2)

x + y + z = 3000 (3)

Finally, we find the solution of this system:

x + (z + 100) + z = 3000

x + 2 · z = 2900

x + 4 · x = 2900

5 · x = 2900

x = 580 mL

z = 1160 mL

y = 1260 mL

Carol, Xavier and Keela drank 580, 1160 and 1260 mL of water, respectively.

Will someone please help me here

You would use unit rate for this. If Austin makes $209 in 11 hours, then he makes 209/11 = 19 dollars in 1 hour.

Then, we can make a proportion:

$19/1 hour = $152/ x hours

Cross multiply:

152 = 19x

Solve for x to get:

x = 8 hours.

Simultaneous equations 5x+y=28 x+y=2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x + y = 28$

$x + y = 8$

Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign

$5x + y = 28$

$y = 2 - x$

Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

$5x + 2 - x = 28$

Solve the equation for x

Collect like terms

$4x + 2 = 28$

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

$4x = 28 - 2$

Subtract the numbers

$4x = 26$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{26}{4}$

Calculate

$x = \frac{26}{4}$

Reduce the numbers with 2

$x = \frac{13}{2}$

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

$y = 2 - \frac{13}{2}$

Solve the equation for y

$y = - \frac{9}{2}$

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:

plug the value of x and y in both equation

$5 \times \frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 28$

$\frac{13}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = 2$

Simplify the equalities

$28 = 28$

$2 = 2$

Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

$(x \:, y \: ) = ( \frac{13}{2} \: , - \frac{9}{2})$

Hope this helps....

Best regards!!
