The equation "x plus 2y equals 5" is: x + 2y = 5 2y = 5 - x y = 5/2 - 1/2x y = -1/2x + 5/2
2y + 2x = 20 y - 2x = 4 Add the two equations: 3y = 24 so that y = 8 Substitute this value of y in the second equation: 8 - 2x = 4 then 4 = 2x so that x = 2 Thus the ordered pair (y,x) = (8,2)
if x = 8in the equation y=2x/(4-2) -- y=8in the equation y=2x/4-2 -- y=2it really depends on how the equation is written, because that would depend on whether you divide or subtract firsty = ( (8^2) / (4) ) - 2y = ( (64) / (4) ) -2y = 16 -2y = 14
y=2x+4 --> x=2y+4 ==> y=(x-4)/2
Answers to pick: -2x - y = 4 2x + y = -2 -8x + 4y = -16 -4x + 2y = -8 -x - 2y = 6 -7x + 4y = 16 2x + 3y = 6 3x + 2y = 4
