Use the method of substitution to solve the system of linear equations. 2x-y=5, 5x-2y=13
1) 2x-y=5
2) 5x-2y=13
5x-2(2x-5)=13
x=3
y=2(3)-5=1
solution: (3,1)
2) 5x-2y=13
5x-2(2x-5)=13
x=3
y=2(3)-5=1
solution: (3,1)
The length of a rectangle is 4cm more than twice its width. The perimeter is 86cm. Find the width and length.
1) l=4+2w
2) 2(l+w)=86
2) l+w=43
replacing l...
(4+2w)+w=43
3w=39
w=13cm
1) becomes
l=4+2*13
l=30cm
2) 2(l+w)=86
2) l+w=43
replacing l...
(4+2w)+w=43
3w=39
w=13cm
1) becomes
l=4+2*13
l=30cm
Solve: 4m-5n=8, 2m+3n=10
1) 4m-5n=8
2) 2m+3n=10 <-m2
and after we swap their positions...
4m+6n=20
4m-5n=8
then subtract to get
11n=12
n=12/11
from 1)...
4m-5(12/11)=8
4m=8+60/11
4m=148/11
m=37/11
2) 2m+3n=10 <-m2
and after we swap their positions...
4m+6n=20
4m-5n=8
then subtract to get
11n=12
n=12/11
from 1)...
4m-5(12/11)=8
4m=8+60/11
4m=148/11
m=37/11
