Answer:
The larger of the two is 44.67
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number=x
let the second number=y
We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements
Their sum is 33:
x+y=33( call this equation 1)
Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:
x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)
Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it
For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2
(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35
y=-35/3
Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1
x+(-35/3)=33
x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)
3x-35=99
3x=99+35
3x=134
x=134/3
Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
Answer:
5,400
Step-by-step explanation:
5% = 270
270 ÷ 5 = 54
54 × 100 = 5400
Answer:
the answer is 3.37723077E13
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 38 ( equation 1) ----> ×5
5x - 5y = -30 ( equation 2) ----> ×3
When you multiply eqn 1 by 5 you get, 15x + 20y = 190
And when you multiply eqn 2 by 3, you get, 15x - 15y = -90
Then you solve both equations by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1
15x + 20y = 190
15x - 15y = 90
Then 15x - 15x gets cancelled and 20y - (-15y) gives 35y and 190 - (-90) gives 280.
So that gives 35y = 280
y = 8
And when you replace y = 8 in any of the two equations, x = 2
