Answer:
e and f is 1.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
8 1
---------- = ----------
x+3 x+1
Using cross products
8 (x+1) = 1 (x+3)
Distribute
8x+8 = x+3
Subtract x from each side
8x-x +8 = x-x+3
7x+8 =3
Subtract 8 from each side
7x +8-8 =3-8
7x = -5
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
x = -5/7
<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>

<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
