Answer:
n= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 ( n+5 ) = 12
-3n - 15 = 12
-3n = 12+15
-3n = 27
n = -27/3
n = -9
Answer:
C. (2, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the answer choices, you can see that solving for y will tell you which choice is correct. We can eliminate x from the equations by adding 4 times the second equation to the first:
(8x -3y) +4(-2x +3y) = (1) +4(11) . . . . . adding the equations to eliminate x
9y = 45 . . . simplified; next we divide by 9
y = 5 . . . . . matches choice C
_____
Check
8(2) -3(5) = 16 -15 = 1
-2(2) +3(5) = -4 +15 = 11 . . . . the answer checks OK in both equations
Answer:
the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the following system of equations.
We will use elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x, y and z.
2x + 2y + 5z = 7 eq(1)
6x + 8y + 5z = 9 eq(2)
2x + 3y + 5z = 6 eq(3)
Subtracting eq(1) and eq(3)
2x + 2y + 5z = 7
2x + 3y + 5z = 6
- - - -
_____________
0 -y + 0 = 1
-y = 1
=> y = -1
Subtracting eq(2) and eq(3)
6x + 8y + 5z = 9
2x + 3y + 5z = 6
- - - -
______________
4x + 5y +0z = 3
4x + 5y = 3 eq(4)
Putting value of y = -1 in equation 4
4x + 5y = 3
4x + 5(-1) = 3
4x -5 = 3
4x = 3+5
4x = 8
x= 8/4
x = 2
Putting value of x=2 and y=-1 in eq(1)
2x + 2y + 5z = 7
2(2) + 2(-1) + 5z = 7
4 -2 + 5z = 7
2 + 5z = 7
5z = 7 -2
5z = 5
z = 5/5
z = 1
So, the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1
Answer:
x>-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+2<8
Subtract 2 from each side
-3x+2-2<8 -2
-3x < 6
Divide each side by -3. remembering to flip the inequality
-3x/-3 >6/-3
x>-2
Answer:
(10, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve by Substitution
2x − 4y = 8 and 7x − 3y = 61
Solve for x in the first equation.
x = 4 + 2y 7x − 3y = 61
Replace all occurrences of x with 4 + 2y in each e quation.
Replace all occurrences of x in 7x − 3y = 61 with 4 + 2y. 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y = 61
x = 4 + 2y
Simplify 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y.
28 + 11y = 61
x = 4 + 2y
Solve for y in the first equation.
Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.
11y = 33
x = 4 + 2y
Divide each term by 11 and simplify.
y = 3
x = 4 + 2y
Replace all occurrences of y with 3 in each equation.
Replace all occurrences of y in x = 4 + 2y with 3. x = 4 + 2 (3)
y = 3
Simplify 4 + 2 (3).
x = 10
y = 3
The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.
