-2x+ 3y=-15 3x+2y = -23 solve by elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
fomenos2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=237/7 and y=-199/7

Explanation:

Multiply the second equation by 2, then add the equations together.

(−2x+3y=−153)

2(x+2y=−23)

Becomes:

−2x+3y=−153

2x+4y=−46

Add these equations to eliminate x:

7y=−199

Then solve 7y=−199 for y:

7y=−199

(Divide both sides by 7)

y=−199/7

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

−2x+3y=−153

Substitute −199/7 for y in−2x+3y=−153:

Add 597/7 to both sides

Divide both sides by -2

<span>2x/4x+2 x 14 x+7/6 is unclear.  Do you mean 2/4x, or do you mean  2x
                                                                                                           --------  ??
                                                                                                            4x+2
Use parentheses to make things clearer.

I will assume that you meant to write

   2x
--------- * 14x + 7/6
4x + 2

but am very much unsure if this is correct or not.



Perhaps you meant 

</span>2x/(4x+2) times 14(x+7/6)
<span>
This comes out as follows:

 2x * 14 (x + 7/6)        28x(x + 7/6)        14x(x + 7/6) 
------------------------ = ------------------- = --------------------
       4x+2                        2(2x + 1)              2x + 1         after reduction.

Performing the multiplication, we get            14x^2 + 98/6
                                                                     --------------------
                                                                              2x+1
</span>  

It appears that you're using "x" both as a variable name and as the "multiply" operator.  If so, please don't!  Use " * " to indicate multiplication.

6) Jennifer bought a magazine for $3 and
Whitepunk [10]

Subtract the cost of the magazine to the total cost.

43 - 3 = $40 spent on erasers.

Divide by the amount of erasers.

40 / 8 = 5 erasers

Hence, Jennifer bought 8 erasers for <u>$5 each.</u>

Best of Luck!

Find the missing segment in the attached image
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The length of the missing segment is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The figure above

Required

Determine the missing segment

Let the missing segment be represented with x

Given that, there exist parallel lines between the two triangles;

The relationship between the sides of the triangles is as follows;

\frac{15}{x} = \frac{15+5}{8+x}

\frac{15}{x} = \frac{20}{8+x}

Cross Multiply

15 * (8 + x) = 20 * x

Open bracket

15*8 + 15 * x = 20 * x

120 + 15x = 20x

Subtract 15x from both sides

120 + 15x -15x= 20x-15x

120 = 20x-15x

120 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{120}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

\frac{120}{5} = x

24 = x

x = 24

Hence, the length of the missing segment is 24

Help with 8th-grade middle school math show work
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

So for the triangle, we have x = 25 and the angles 45-75-60.

So for the quadrilateral, we have x = 75 and the angles 70-110-75-105.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of these problems, we can simply add the expressions of the angles given matched to the sum of the angles for the shape given below.  Once we do this, we can solve for x, and then state the given measures of each angle of the shapes.

<u>For the triangle:</u>

60 + ( x + 20 ) + 3x = 180

60 + x + 20 + 3x = 180

60 + 20 + x + 3x = 180

80 + x ( 1 + 3 ) = 180

80 + x ( 4 ) = 180

80 + 4x = 180

4x = 100

x = 25

We have the given angles:

x + 20 ==> 25 + 20 ==> 45

3x ==> 3 (25) ==> 75

60

So for the triangle, we have the angles 45-75-60.

<u>For the quadrilateral:</u>

( x - 5 ) + ( x + 35 ) + x + 1.4x = 360

x - 5 + x + 35 + x + 1.4x = 360

35 - 5 + x + x + x + 1.4x = 360

30 + x ( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1.4 ) = 360

30 + x ( 4.4 ) = 360

30 + 4.4x = 360

4.4x = 330

x = 75

So, we have the given angles:

x - 5 ==> 75 - 5 ==> 70

x + 35 ==> 75 + 35 ==> 110

x ==> 75

1.4x ==> 1.4(75) ==> 105

So for the quadrilateral, we have the angles 70-110-75-105.

Cheers.
