Solve each of the following systems of equations by substitution

Mathematics
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1) The solution to the given equations is (3,6)

2) The solution to the given equations is (7,-1)

3) The solution to the given equations is (6,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given equations are x+y=5\hfill (1)

and x=1+y\hfill (2)

To solve the given equations by substitution method :

From equation (2) we have the value x=1+y

Substitute the value of x=1+y  in equation (1) we get

(1+y)+y=5

1+y+y=5

1+2y=5

2y=5-1

2y=4

y=\frac{4}{2}

Therefore y=2

Now substitute the value of y=2 in equation (2) we get

x=1+y

x=1+2

Therefore x=3

The solution is (3,6)

2) Given equations are 2x+3y=11\hfill (1)

and x+y=6\hfill (2)

To solve the given equations by substitution method :

From equation (2) we have the value x=6-y

Substitute the value of x=6-y  in equation (1) we get

2(6-y)+3y=11

12-2y+3y=11

y=11-12

Therefore y=-1

Now substitute the value of y=-1 in equation (2) we get

x+(-1)=6

x=6+1

Therefore x=7

The solution is (7,-1)

3) Given equations are x-y=1\hfill (1)

and 6x-7y=1\hfill (2)

To solve the given equations by substitution method :

From equation (1) we have the value x=1+y

Substitute the value of x=1+y  in equation (2) we get

6(1+y)-7y=1

6+6y-7y=1

-y=1-6

Therefore y=5

Now substitute the value of y=5 in equation (1) we get

x-5=1

x=1+5

Therefore x=6

The solution is (6,5)

frutty [35]
The answer is 6 months because $1100 - $200 (which he already has) = $900. $900 divided by $150 (which he saves each month) = 6. So it took him 6 months to save up enough.

Write an equation for the line described in standard form with x-intercept 4 and y-intercept 5
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Equation( \frac{5}{4}) x  + y = 5 is in the standard dorm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the x - intercept = 4 , so ( 4,0) is a point on the line.

and the y - intercept = 5, so ( 0,5) is a point on the line.

So, the slope of the equation is given as  =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1 }  = \frac{5 -0}{0-4}  = -\frac{5}{4}

Now, the SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM of an equation is :

y  = mx + b: here m  = slope and b =  y- intercept

or, y =-( \frac{5}{4}) x + 5

Now, standard form is Ax +By = C

So, the standard form is ( \frac{5}{4}) x  + y = 5

Hence, the above equation ( \frac{5}{4}) x  + y = 5

is in the standard dorm.

A members-only speaker series allows people to join for $28 and then pay $4 for every event attended. What is the total cost for
wariber [46]

Given:

Joining fee = $28

Fee of each event = $4

To find:

Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.

Solution:

Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.

Fee for 1 event = $4

Fee for x events = $4x

Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is

y=28+4x

Substitute x=4 in this equation.

y=28+4(4)

y=28+16

y=44

Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.

Prove that the value of the expression: 731^2−631^2 is divisible by 100
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

731² - 631² is the difference of squares.

731² - 631² = (731+631)(731-631) = 1362×100

therefore, 731² - 631² is divisible by 100
