Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.
We have these two equations.
-7x-2y=14
6x+6y=18
Now let divide the second equation by 6.
6x+6y=18 ----> x+y=3
Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.
x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)
Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.
-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)
We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.
-7(3-y)-2y=14
-21+7y-2y=14
5y=35
y=7
Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.
x+y=3
x+7=3
x=-4
answer: x=-4, y=7
Answer:
135 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Jose's height = x
The mean of their heights = 150
Given the Heights:
150cm, 170cm, 140cm, 155cm
The mean is the sum if the heights divided by the number of people
Here :
(150 + 170 + 140 + 155 + x) / 5 = 150
(615 + x) / 5 = 150
615 + x = 750
x = 750 - 615
x = 135 cm
