By Simultaneous Equations. Assuming you mean

5x + 3y + 20 = 0

2x - y - 14 = 0.

We will eliminate 'y' by multiplying the bottom eq'n by '3' and then adding.

Hence

5x + 3y + 20 = 0

6x - 3y -42 = 0

Add

11x -22 = 0

11x = 22

x = 22/11

x = 2

when x= 2

2(2) - y - 14 =0

4 - y - 14 = 0

-y - 10 = 0

y = -10

So the point of intersection in ( x.y.) form is ( 2, -10).

-2x - 14 equals 26?

- 2x - 14 = 26 Switch all signs: 2x + 14 = - 26 Subtract 14 from both sides: 2x = -26 - 14 = - 40 Divide both sides by 2: x = - 40/2 = - 20


3x plus 6y equals 18 2x plus 5y equals 20?

You need to be more clear about your question. 3x + 6y = 18 2x + 5y = 20 The two equations you give represent lines. I assume you're trying to find the point at which they intersect. There are various ways to work this out. One technique is to multiply each equation by a factor that gives one of the two variables the same coefficient. For example, if we multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3, we get: 6x + 12y = 36 6x + 15y = 60 Then we can subtract one from the other, which gives us a solution for y: [6x + 12y = 36] - [6x + 15y = 60] _______________ [0x - 3y = -24] So -3y = -24, telling us that at the point of intersection, y = 8. We can then plug that back into one of the original equations and solve for x: 2x + 5y = 20 2x + 5(8) = 20 2x = 20 - 40 2x = -20 x = -10 So the lines intersect at the point (-10, 8). Another way to work it out is to solve one of the equations for a single variable, and then plug it into the other one: 3x + 6y = 18 ∴ x + 2y = 6 ∴ x = 6 - 2y 2x + 5y = 20 ∴ 2(6 - 2y) + 5y = 20 ∴ 12 - 4y + 5y = 20 ∴ y = 20 - 12 ∴ y = 8 That gives us the value 8 for y, which we can once again plug in to either of the original equations to find x: 2x + 5y = 20 ∴ 2x + 40 = 20 ∴ 2x = -20 ∴ x = -10 Once again telling us that the lines intersect at the point (-10, 8)


What type of lines are these y 2x and y 2x -1?

As stated these are not lines, but just a collection of algebraic terms. If we change them to y=2x and y=2x-1, then on a graph of y versus x, these are parallel lines separated by vertical distance of 1.

How do you find the equation of a line through 10 14 parallel to 1y equals -2x plus 4?

The slope will be the same but the y intercept will change:- y -14 = - 2(x - 10) y -14 = -2x +20 y = -2x +20 +14 y = -2x +34


-2 x - 14 equals 26?

-2x - 14 = 26 -2x = 26 + 14 x = -40/2 x = -20


Y equals 2x plus 2 and 4y-8x equals 12 at which point do these lines intersect?

They don't. The line is parallel. ( 4x-8x=12 simplifies to y-2x+3, which has the same slope as y=2x+2)


The solution for two lines that are parallel?

There is no solution. The answer to this sort of question (such as y=2x+3, and y=2x+4) would be no solution, since the lines never intersect, but instead continue on to go an infinite distance without ever crossing each other.
