The solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
2x + 3y = 14 ---------- eqn 1
3x - 4y = 4 --------- eqn 2
We have to solve the given system of equations
We can solve the above system of equations by elimination method
<em><u>Multiply eqn 1 by 3</u></em>
3(2x + 3y = 14)
6x + 9y = 42 --------- eqn 3
<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>
2(3x - 4y = 4)
6x - 8y = 8 ----------- eqn 4
<em><u>Subtract eqn 4 from eqn 3</u></em>
6x + 9y = 42
6x - 8y = 8
( - ) --------------
9y + 8y = 42 - 8
17y = 34
<h3>y = 2</h3>
<em><u>Substitute y = 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
2x + 3(2) = 14
2x + 6 = 14
2x = 14 - 6
2x = 8
<h3>x = 4</h3>
Thus the solution to given system of equations are (x, y) = (4, 2)
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain variable.
Answer: x = -2
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
Answer:
Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
Answer:
2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the original width, multiply 15.8 by w, and by 5.2.
You'll get 327.65 = 15.8w + 82.16.
Next, do the opposite of the symbol from both sides, 327.65 - 82.16 = 15.8w + 82.16.
The constant is 82.16, and the symbol is +, the opposite of plus is -, and thus subtract the constant from both sides.
You'll get 245.49 = 15.8w.
Now do the opposite of the symbol (a number next to a variable is multiplication, so do division, and divide 15.8 on both sides.
245.49/15.8 = 15.8w/15.8, which equals 15.5373417722.
