Answer:

- 20 and 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equations simultaneously to find x and y

2x + y = 23 → (1)

4x - y = 19 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y

6x + 0 = 42

6x = 42 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2(7) + y = 23

14 + y = 23 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

y = 9

Then

x - 3y = 7 - 3(9) = 7 - 27 = - 20

5y - 2x = 5(9) - 2(7) = 45 - 14 = 31

The operation 3 / 10 ÷ 4/ 5, can also be written as (3 / 10) x (4 / 5). The operation can be done by multiplying the numerators and denominators which is equal to 12 / 50. This may be further simplified as 6/25.

Which equations are equivalent to ? Check all that apply. X 4 = 64 60 = x.

hram777 [196]

You can use the fact that equivalent equations are such that one equation can be obtained by performing some operations(which doesn't break equality) on the other equation and vice versa.

The equivalent equation to $x + 4 = 64$ is $x = 60$

<h3>What are equivalent equations?</h3>

Equivalent equations are such that one equation can be obtained by performing some operations(which doesn't break equality) on the other equation and vice versa.

<h3>How to get the equivalent equation of the given equation?</h3>

The given equation is

$x + 4 = 64$

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get

$x + 4 - 4 = 64 - 4\\x = 60$
