Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
yes, I can help you do it.
Answer:
The solution is (3/8, -7/8).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = −5x + 1
y = 3x − 2
Since the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :
−5x + 1 = 3x - 2
-5x - 3x = -2 - 1
-8x = -3
x = 3/8.
So y = 3x - 2
= 3(3/8) - 2
= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
Answer:
50+0.03x
Step-by-step explanation:
All you need to do is look at the numbers given in the word problem and convert them to algebraic terms.
