Simultaneous linear equation

English

3 0

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

(a)

3x + 5y = 8 → (1)

4x - 3y = 1 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 5 and adding the result will eliminate y

9x + 15y = 24 → (3)

20x - 15y = 5 → (4)

add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y

29x + 0 = 29

29x = 29 ( divide both sides by 29 )

x = 1

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

substituting into (1)

9(1) + 15y = 24

9 + 15y = 24 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

15y = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

y = 1

solution is x = 1 , y = 1

-----------------------------------------

(b)

6p + 4q = 20 → (1)

5p - 2q = 6 → (2)

multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate q

10p - 4q = 12 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate q

16p + 0 = 32

16p = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )

p = 2

substitute p = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for q

substituting into (1)

6(2) + 4q = 20

12 + 4q = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4q = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

q = 2

solution is p = 2 , q = 2

Why do writers include reflections when they are telling about an event in their lives?​
Alja [10]

Answer:

Reflection: The writer reflects on the issue (that is, the topic they are writing about) and considers how their own experience and points of view might influence their response. This helps the writer learn about themselves as well as contribute to a better final product that considers biases.

write a story which include "i was surrounded by many important people but no one that i knew" 350 words​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

it was a dark night and I was returning back home from work. I was tired and the my only wish was to lay down in my bed at home. my usual route being blocked I had to go through a desserted path . I was moving slowly when I heard a rustle of leaves. as anyone at that moment would do, I ignored it. as I moved forward I had a felling that I was being followed. there was a ghostly silence. maybe it was true ? what shall I do? I am gonna die - these questions appeared in my mind as I moved further . suddenly I thought I had to stop or it would come to my house.

without further thought I stopped . the footsteps behind me also stopped. I had to face it now or later. I turned behind and saw there was no one . I ran as fast as my feet could carry me to home. I heaved a long b breathe when I reached home. the next day I consulted a elderly women in my neighbourhood. that's when I got to know the real story. the road I took was , as believed by all , cursed!. many travellers had fell dead there without any health reasons . the doctors told that they were in perfect health but dead!

i was surrounded by many important people but no one that i knew

the cause was unknown
