what is the solution to the system of equations?
5x + 4y = 8
x - 2y = 10
(not multiple choice)
my answer: (-5, -1)
What are the missing values? (coincident)
4x + 5y = 8
8x + ____ y = _____
(Not multiple choice)
Im not sure how to do this one
collection of dimes and nickels is worth $6.90. but there are 96 coins all together.. how many coins are there?
______ (not multiple choice) not sure how to do it ..
______
-120
#1, you can decide for yourself if (-5,-1) is correct by subbing in those values into both equations.
You should be able to do this mentally.
-- A quick mental calculation shows that your answer does not work in either equation
from the 2nd: x = 2y + 10
plug that into the 1st:
5x + 4y = 8
5(2y+10) + 4y = 8
10y + 50 + 4y = 8
14y = -42
y = -3
then x = 2y+10 = -6+10
= 4
so x = 4, y = -3
2.
Since they are to be coincident, the 2nd equation should be equivalent to the 1st
since 4x was multiplied by 2 to get 8x in the 2nd
do that to the other two terms.
3. d+n = 96 --> n = 96-d
10d + 5n = 690
10d + 5(96-d) = 690
take it from there ....
