Solve the simultaneous equations: 5x + 2y = 17 4x + y = 10

Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(1, 6 )

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 17 → (1)

4x + y = 10 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term

- 8x - 2y = - 20 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 3x + 0 = - 3

- 3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

5(1) + 2y = 17

5 + 2y = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 6

solution is (1, 6 )

Provide an example of how a free press is an essential component of a democracy
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Free press is essential since the government does not control the press.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the Untied States has free press so authors can spread information (whether for good or evil) while other countries like China control their press and access to press outside of their country, making it much harder for citizens to see the world from another perspective rather than what the government is willing to tell them.

Since the United States is a democracy, it is important to allow their citizens to have the right to speech and the press if people want to form opinions of their own.

two people were doing yard work for 1 hour and 35 minutes then they stopped for lunch at 1:20pm at what time did they start doin
MrMuchimi

Answer: The answer would be at 11:45.

Step-by-step explanation: First I though, if they stoppedd for lunch at 1:20 and they've been doing yard work for 1 hour and 35 minutes, I would subtract. 1 hour taken away from 1:20 would be 12:20. Then, since it would be hard to subtract 35 minutes from 12:20, 35 minutes - 20 minutes = 15 minutes. 12:20 subtract 20 minutes = 12:00. 12:00 - 15 minutes equal to 11:45. I hope this helps. I know this explanation can be confusing but it's the best I can do at the moment.

Hannah has another candle that is 14 cm tall. How fast must it burn in order to also be 6 cm tall after 4 hours? Explain your th
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets solve!

We have to find out how much of the candle needs to be burned!

14cm - 6cm = 8cm

The candle must burn 8cm in 4 hours!

Lets find out how much the candle burns in 1 hour.

\frac{8cm}{4hours}= 2cm per hour

The candle must burn at 2cm per hour in order to be 6cm tall after 4 hours. I know this because the candle has to burn 8cm in 4 hours and that amounts to 2cm per hour.

Woohoo, We did it! <u>Would you like to mark my answer as brainliest?</u> I would love that!
