2x plus 3y equal 40 -2x plus 2y equal 20?
2x+3y=40-2x+2y=20Since 2x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.3y=-2xDivide each term in the equation by 3.(3y)/(3)=-(2x)/(3)Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.y=-(2x)/(3)if you were solving for x It would be x=-(3y)/2
-3 plus 3y equals 2y plus 5?
3y - 3 = 2y + 5 3y - 2y = 5 + 3 y = 8
X plus 3y equals 2 2X-3Y equals 22?
x + 3y = 2 2x - 3y = 22 Add the two equations: 3x = 24 Divide both sides by 3 to give x= 8. Substitue this value of x in the first equation to give 8 + 3y = 2 Subtract 8 from both sides: 3y = -6 Divide both sides by 3: y = -2 Solution: (X, y) = (8, -2)
How Do you Solve 2x-3y equals 2 3x plus 2y equals 3?
Given: 2x - 3y = 2 3x + 2y = 3 Take the first equation, and solve for x: x = (2 + 3y) / 2 Now plug it into the second equation: ∴ 3(2 + 3y) / 2 + 2y = 3 ∴ 3 + 9y/2 + 2y = 3 ∴ 9y/2 + 2y = 0 ∴ 22y = 0 ∴ y = 0 Then you can take that value of y, and plug it into either of our first equations to find x; 2x - 3y = 2 ∴ 2x - 3(0) = 2 ∴ 2x = 2 ∴ x = 1 So x is equal to one, and y is equal to zero.
4x plus y equals 7 2x-3y equals -7?
(A): 4x + y = 7 (B): 2x - 3y = -7 2*(B) 4x - 6y = -14 Subtract from (A) 7y = 21 Divide both sides by 7: y = 3 Substitute in (A): 4x + 3 = 7 ie 4x = 4 or x = 1 Answer: x = 1 , y = 3
