If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2
Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20
You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20
Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12
The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6
So your answers would be
x=2
y=6
Answer:
x = 17.5 and y = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 10 = y + 10 ( alternate angles )
subtract 10 from both sides
2x = y ⇒ 6x = 3y → (1)
the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°
6x + y + 10 + 30 = 180 ( replace 6x by 3y )
3y + y + 40 = 180
4y + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
4y = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 35
substitute y = 35 into (1)
2x = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 17.5
35+25=60
y=60
If you add the opposite side values of the triangle (not the one touching the y), you get the value of y). 35+25=y
This works because y+x= 180 and the three angles of a triangle add to 180.
This is how it would work to find answer
You divide 225 by 45 and the answer you would get is 5 so
It will take 5h for the train to travel
