Solve for x and y if 5x−y = 625 and 32x × 3y = 243.
Hence, evaluate
35x/7^(−2y) × 5^(−3y)
Need help for solving x and y, thanks!
5x−y = 625 -----> y = 5x-625
sub into the 2nd equation:
32x × 3y = 243 ----- divide both sides by 3
32xy = 81
32x(5x-625) = 81
160x^2 - 20000x - 81 = 0
yuk
this is not going nicely ...
use your calculator and the quadratic formula to find
x, then y
let's work on the other part:
35x/7^(−2y) × 5^(−3y)
I will assume you meant:
(35x/7)^(−2y) × 5^(−3y)
= (5x)^(-2y) × 5^(-3y)
= 5^(-2y) × x^(-2y) × 5^(-3y)
= 5^(-5y) × x^(-2y)
sub in the x and y from above.
looks quite messy, check your typing, I already made one assumption.
To solve for x and y in the given equations, we'll solve them simultaneously using substitution or elimination method.
Given:
Equation 1: 5x - y = 625 ---(1)
Equation 2: 32x × 3y = 243 ---(2)
From equation 1, we can rewrite it as:
y = 5x - 625
Now substitute this value of y in equation 2:
32x × 3(5x - 625) = 243
Simplify the equation:
96x^2 - 48000x + 243 = 0
We have a quadratic equation here. Solve this equation using the quadratic formula:
x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a
Plugging the values into the formula:
x = [-(-48000) ± √((-48000)^2 - 4(96)(243))] / (2)(96)
Simplifying further will give us the values of x.
After finding the value(s) of x, substitute it back into equation 1 to find the corresponding value(s) of y.
Once we have the values of x and y, we can evaluate the expression:
35x / 7^(-2y) × 5^(-3y)
Let's substitute the values of x and y into the expression and simplify it.
I can perform these calculations for you if you provide the specific values of x and y that you find.
