Solve the simultaneous equation 3x + y = 8 x - 3y = 11

Mathematics
1 answer:
podryga [215]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 7 / 2, y = - 5 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 8 ------> equation 1

3 ( 3x + y = 8 )

9x + 3y = 24 ------> equation 2

x - 3y = 11 ------> equation 3

Add equations 2 & 3,

9x + 3y = 24

x - 3y = 11

_________

10x + 0 = 35

10x = 35

x = 35 / 10

x = 3.5

Substitute x = 3.5 in equation 1,

3x + y = 8

3 ( 3.5 ) + y = 8

10.5 + y = 8

y = 8 - 10.5

y = - 2.5

x = 3.5

= 35 / 10

x = 7 / 2

y = - 2.5

= - 25 / 10

y = - 5 / 2

Renting a car cost 30dollars a day, or 600 per month. Renting daily is cheaper for a few days, but after how many days are the t
podryga [215]

Answer: The two options are equal after 20days of daily pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it cost $30 to rent a car for a day and $600 to rent the same car for a month(approximately 30days), renting daily is equal to the monthly rentage after 20 days ($30 for 20days which is $30×20 i.e $600)

According to the deduction above, the renting is cheaper daily only for the first 20 days after which the amount equals to the monthly rentage of the same car.

Please help could you explain or show work so I will remember how to do problems like this?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = - 20

Distribute the minus sign

4x - x +4 = -20

Combine like terms

3x+4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side

3x+4-4 = -20-4

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8
