A system of equations is shown.
4c+2d=11
7/2d=41-22c
what is the solution to the system?
C=
d=
what is the correct answer
The system of equations can be solved using the substitution method.
From the second equation:
7/2d = 41 - 22c
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
7d = 82 - 44c
Rearrange the equation:
44c + 7d = 82
Now, substitute this equation into the first equation:
4c + 2d = 11
4c + 2d = 11
4c + 2(82 - 44c)/7 = 11
4c + 164/7 - 88/7*c = 11
28c + 164 - 88c = 77
-60c + 164 = 77
-60c = -87
c = 87/60
c = 29/20
Now, substitute the value of c back into the second equation:
44(29/20) + 7d = 82
1276/20 + 7d = 82
638/10 + 7d = 82
63.8 + 7d = 82
7d = 18.2
d = 18.2/7
d = 2.6
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:
c = 29/20
d = 2.6
the correct answer
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the system of equations correctly:
Equation 1: 4c + 2d = 11
Equation 2: 7/2d = 41 - 22c
First, solve equation 2 for d:
7/2d = 41 - 22c
Multiply both sides by 2:
7d = 82 - 44c
d = (82 - 44c) / 7
d = 82/7 - 44/7c
Next, substitute this expression for d into equation 1:
4c + 2(82/7 - 44/7c) = 11
4c + 164/7 - 88/7c = 11
28c + 164 - 88c = 77
-60c + 164 = 77
-60c = -87
c = 87 / 60
c = 29 / 20
Now, substitute c back into the expression for d:
d = 82/7 - 44/7c
d = 82/7 - 44/7 * 29/20
d = 82/7 - 638/140
d = 82/7 - 319/70
d = 82 * 10/7 * 10 - 319/70
d = 820/70 - 319/70
d = (820 - 319) / 70
d = 501 / 70
d = 71 / 10
Therefore, the correct solution to the system of equations is:
c = 29 / 20
d = 71 / 10
