Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + y = 25 2x – y = 10

Answer:

x=7 and y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use the elimination method:

Since the co-efficient of both y's are the same number but different signs we add the 2 equations to eliminate the y:

3x + y =25
+     +     +

2x - y = 10

Simplify:

5x=35

Divide both sides by 5:

5x÷5=35÷5

Simplify:

x=7

Substitute this into either equation 1 or 2 ( I chose 1):

3(7) + y = 25

21 + y = 25

Subtract 21 from both sides and simplify to get y:

21+y-21=25-21

y=4

Therefore x=7 and y=4

Assuming they start saving at 0 dollars

45=total=duanesavings+micksavings
duanesavings=confusing, I will explain
mick savings =amount saves per week times number of weeks

duane saves 5 dollars every other week, aka 2.5 dollars per 1 week
DS=2.5w
MS=2w

since they save at same time and at that week, when the weeks are equal (w=w), 45 it total

DS+MS=45
2.5w+2w=45
4.5w=45
divide by 4.5 both sides
w=10

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

So the slope intercept form for -5 and 2 is
y = 2x - 5

It would be this because the mx represents the slope and the b represents the y intercept so all you have to do is plug in the numbers.
