Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.
it does not matter which variable you choose.
lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.
so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.
2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6
(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)
4x+6y=12
now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6
-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)
-15x-6y=-12
now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out
4x+6y=12
-15x-6y=-12
-11x=0
x=0
now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
y=2
so your answer is x=0, y=2
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
