How to work -1x-2y=-13 x-2y=11 equation by substitution

Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest.

So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation.
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:

-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore

x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals.

hope this helps!

Hi,
Let assume x the 3th side.
x<12+7==> x<19
12<x+7==>x>5
So 5<x<19==> 5+7+12<x+7+12<19+7+12
==>24<x<38

Scott took out a 4-year car loan for $5,500. He paid back a total of $7,370. What interest rate did he pay for this loan?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Amount of car loan taken by Scott = $5500
Amount of loan paid back by Scott = $7370
Then
Amount of money paid as interest by Scott = (7370 - 5500) dollars
   = 1870 dollars
Then
Percentage of interest given for the car loan = (1870/5500) * 100
   = 1870/55
   = 34 percent
So Scott had to pay a total interest rate of 34% in the four years.I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand and solve future problems.

Choose the correct simplification of the expression ( 4x/y)^2.

erik [133]

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \left(\frac{4x}{y}\right)^{2} \end{gathered}$}$

To raise 4x/y to a power, raise the numerator and denominator to the power, and then divide.

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{(4x)^{2} }{y^{2} } \end{gathered}$}$

Expand (4x)².

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{4^{2} x^{2} }{y^{2} } \end{gathered}$}$

Calculates 4 to the power of 2 and gets 16.

$\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \frac{16x^{2} }{y^{2} } \end{gathered}$} }$
