Solve the systems by the addition method 2x + y = - 1x - 2y = - 4

inna [77]

Answer:

x = -6/5

y =7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = - 1

x - 2y = - 4

Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y

2(2x + y = - 1)

4x + 2y = -2

Add this to the second equation

4x + 2y = -2

x - 2y = - 4

---------------------

5x + 0y = -6

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -6/5

x = -6/5

Multiply the second equation by -2 so we can eliminate x

-2(x - 2y = - 4)

-2x+4y = 8

Add this to the first equation

2x + y = - 1

-2x+4y = 8

---------------------

0x + 5y = 7

Divide by 5

5y/5 = 7/5

y =7/5

What is 6 1/4 x 3 3/5

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change mixed fraction to improper fraction. Then reduce to lowest term if possible.

6 1/4 x 3 3/5 = 25/4 * 18/5 = 25* 18 /4*5

= 5 * 18 / 4 {giving by 5th table}

= 5* 9 /2 { giving by 2nd tables}

= 45/2

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

blagie [28]

A.
$5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\
5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\
11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\
11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\
x=0$

B.
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\
6x-12=5x-1 \\
\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\
11x=11 \\
\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}$

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\
x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\
x=11$
