Complete the statement
a) (5x - y) = (5 -1) (x)
(2x + y) = ( ) (y)
To complete the statement, we need to find the missing value in the second equation.
Let's solve the first equation to find the value of (5 - 1):
Given:
(5x - y) = (5 - 1) (x)
To solve for (5 - 1), we first simplify the equation:
5x - y = 4x
Now, we can subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable on one side:
5x - 4x = y
Simplifying further:
x = y
Therefore, (5 - 1) is equal to x.
Now, let's use this information to find the missing value in the second equation.
Given:
(2x + y) = ( ) (y)
We know that x = y from the first equation. So we can substitute that value into the second equation:
(2x + y) = (2y) (y)
Now, the missing value in the second equation is 2y.
Therefore, the complete statement is:
(5x - y) = (5 - 1) (x)
(2x + y) = (2y) (y)
