What is the solution of this system of linear equations? 3y = 3 y equals StartFraction 3 over 2 EndFraction x plus 6.X + 6 y – S

Scrat [10]

Answer:

(0,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6$

and

$\frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{4}x = 3$

We substitute the first equation into the second equation to get:

$\frac{1}{2} ( \frac{3}{2}x + 6) - \frac{1}{4}x = 3$

We expand to get:

$\frac{3}{4} x + 3 - \frac{1}{4}x = 3$

We group similar terms to get:

$\frac{3}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}x = 3 - 3$

$\frac{1}{2}x = 0$

$x = 0$

Put x=0 in to the first equation to get:

$y = 6$

Therefore the solution is (0,6)

quester [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the least number = x

Let the largest number = 2x

Let the second number = x + 3

The sum = 75

Equation

x + 2x + x + 3 = 75 Combine the terms on the left

Solution

4x + 3 = 75 Subtract 3 from both sides

4x +3-3= 75-3

4x = 72 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 72/4

x = 18

Answer

Smallest number = 18

Second number = 18 + 3 = 21

Largest number = 2*18 = 36

Sum = 75
