Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf (1, 3) \ or \ x=1 \ and \  y=3}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this system of equations:

4x+y=7\\4x-2y=-2

We use elimination to solve to eliminate one of the variables, so we only have to work with one at a time. We do this by adding and subtracting the equations, and sometimes multiplying the entire equation by a number.

Notice how both equations have a 4x. This means they can easily be eliminated, without multiplying the equations by another number first. Let's subtract the 2 equations.

\ \ \ 4x+y=7\\ -(4x-2y)=-2

The 4x will cancel because 4x-4x=0.

\ \ \ \ y=7 \\ - (-2y) = -2

Since there are back to back negative signs, they become addition signs.

\ \ \ \ y=7 \\+2y=2

3y=9

We are solving for y , so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 3 and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 3.

3y/3=9/3\\y=3

Now we can substitute 3 in for y in the original equations. Let's use the first one.

4x+y=7\\4x+3=7

3 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x+3-3=7-3\\4x=4\\

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=4/4\\x=1

x is equal to 1 and y is equal to 3. Coordinate points are written as (x, y). The solution to this system of equations is (1, 3).

Ruby signed up for a frequent-filer program. She receives 3400frequent-flier miles for the first round trip and 1200 miles for a
vovangra [49]

Answer: 8200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question, since she wants to go for five round trips, her first round trip is fixed at 3400 and she will have 4 more additional trips. This can them be calculated as:

= 3400 + 1200x

x = additional trips = 4

We then put the value of x into the equation

= 3400 + 1200x

= 3400 + 1200(4)

= 3400 + 4800

= 8200

She'll have 8200 mile after 5 round trips
