Answer: the y-intercept is -7
Step-by-step explanation: Rewrite the equation in slopr intercept form and simplify:
2x-5y=35 Subtract 2x from both sides
-5y = -2x + 35 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y
y = 2x/5 -7
2(2x) + 1x = 40 or 4x + 1x = 40 is the result of combining by substitution
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to combine 2y + 1x = 40 and y = 2x using substitution method
The substitution method for solving systems of equations involves expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.
<em><u>Given equations are:</u></em>
2y + 1x = 40 -------- eqn 1
y = 2x ----------- eqn 2
We can substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
Which means, substitute y = 2x in place of y in eqn 1
2(2x) + 1x = 40
4x + 1x = 40
5x = 40
x = 8
From eqn 2,
y = 2(8)
y = 16
Thus by combining using substitution method we found the solution
3 and 1 half is also known as 3.5,
3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25
in fractions that is 12 and 1 quarter
