Solve each pair of simultaneous equations giving both solutions. You need to multiply both equations by suitable numbers before

adding \subtracting to eliminate.
a) 6x - 7y = 9
3x + 2y = 54

b) 4x - 5y = 12
2x - 3y = 8


c) 4x - 2y = 28
3x + 3y = 12

Answer:

a) x = 12  y = 9

b) x = -2   y = -4

c) x = 6   y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Equation 1:  6x - 7y = 9

Equation 2:  3x + 2y = 54

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 6x + 4y = 108

Subtract equations:

   6x + 4y = 108

<u>-    6x - 7y = 9      </u>

           11y = 99

Divide both sides by 11:

⇒ y = 9

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 6x - 7(9) = 9

⇒ 6x - 63 = 9

⇒ 6x = 72

⇒ x = 12

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

b)

Equation 1:  4x - 5y = 12

Equation 2:  2x - 3y = 8

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 4x - 6y = 16

Subtract equations:

   4x - 6y = 16

<u>-   4x - 5y = 12      </u>

           -y = 4

Divide both sides by -1:

⇒ y = -4

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 5(-4) = 12

⇒ 4x + 20 = 12

⇒ 4x = -8

⇒ x = -2

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

c)

Equation 1:  4x - 2y = 28

Equation 2:  3x + 3y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 12x - 6y = 84

Multiply Equation 2 by 4:

⇒ 12x + 12y = 48

Subtract equations:

     12x - 6y = 84

<u>-   12x + 12y = 48   </u>

            -18y = 36

Divide both sides by -18:

⇒ y = -2

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 2(-2) = 28

⇒ 4x + 4 = 28

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6

BabaBlast [244]
First  choice is  "1 of 10 grape lollipops from 35 lollipops"  
The probablity is 10/35 = 2/7 
Second choice is  "1 of 18 apple lollipops from 34 lollipops"  
So probablity is 18/34 = 9/17 
Between this is  AND so you have to these probablities multiply:
P(A) = 2/7 * 9/17 = 18/119 
P(A) = 18/119 * 100% = 1800/119 %
It is approximaly <span>15,1 %.

A number is randomly selected from {80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86}.
Ivan
The probability that the number picked is less than 84 p(A) is:
number of possible events with picked number less than 84/ total number of possible events = 4/7
The complement event of A is that event A does not occur. If the picked number is not less than 84 ( this means is greater than 84 or is 84). The probability of the complement event is:1- p(A)=3/7

Solution: B
