Solve the system by substitution. −7x−10y= 40 x=−2y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x= -20, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the two equations:

-7x -10y= 40 -----(1)

x= -2y -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

-7(-2y) -10y= 40

Expand:

14y -10y= 40

Simplify:

4y= 40

Divide both sides by 4:

y= 40 ÷4

y= 10

Substitute y= 10 into (2):

x= -2y

x= -2(10)

x= -20

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4=y

2y+3x=13

We substitute the y in. They already gave us the equation 2x-4=y simplified so you would just plug this into the other equation

2(2x-4) +3x=13 : *distribute*

4x-8+3x=13 :  *combine like terms*

7x-8=13  * add the 8 to the other side*

7x=21 *divide*

x=3

So  the y=2x-4 is what we added in the place of the y to subtract it and solve for x. The second step would be solving for y. So now that we have our answer, 3  we plug it into the other equation preferably.

2(3)-4 =y : 6-4=y : 2=y

We can check our answer by pugging both x and y into both equations to make sure they are right. The statement should be true.

2x-4=y         2(3)-4=(2)    2=2

2y+3x=13    2(2)+3(3)=13    13=13

What is the slope of 3x+8y-1=0
Fudgin [204]
One of the most common ways to find the slope is to put the problem in standard, slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. The easiest way to describe this process is to isolate y.
Here's how you do it for this problem:
3x+8y-1=0 \\ (3x+8y-1)+1=(0)+1 \\ 3x+8y=1 \\ (3x+8y)-3x=(1)-3x \\ 8y=-3x+1 \\ (8y)/8=(-3x)/8+(1)/8 \\ y= -\frac{3}{8}x+ \frac{1}{8}
Since m is your slope, the answer would be -3/8.
Hope this helps!

Select any equations that have the same solution set as:
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 6+4x=26, 4x=20

Step-by-step explanation: 6+4x=20 is the initial equation but completely multiplied by two, so you can know without solving that it is equivalent.

If you solve the equation, 2x+3=13 (subtract 3 from both sides)

2x=10 (divide both sides by 2)

x equals 5.

if you plug in 5 as x to 4x=20, you get 20=20, which is a true statement, so this choice is also correct. You could also solve to prove x equals 5 in this equation as well. Divide 20 by 4 and you get x=5.
