How can I solve this system of linear equation by substitution 3x+y=11 and -2x+y=1

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: We can answer this question by solving each equation for one variable, and then substituting.

3x + y = 11   Given
y = -3x + 11   Subtract 3x from both sides

This equation is now solved for y. Now, let's do the other equation. Make sure to solve it for the same variable.

-2x + y = 1   Given
y = 2x + 1   Add 2x to both sides

Now, let's set both equations equal to each other, since they both equal y.

2x + 1 = -3x + 11   Set both equations equal to each other
1 = -5x + 11   Subtract 2x from both sides
-10 = -5x   Subtract 11 from both sides
2 = x   Divide both sides by -5

Now, let's substitute x in for one of the equations we found earlier, so that we can find y.

y = 2x + 1   Given
y = (2)(2) + 1   Substitute the x-value, 2
y = 4 + 1   Multiply
y = 5   Add

So, x = 2 and y = 5.

Hope this helps!


Answer 2
Answer: First will make Equation take on the form of y = mx + b. I've cchosen the second Equation:

y = 2x + 1


Now substitute this equation in for y into the other equation and solve:

3x+y = 11
3x+ (2x + 1)=11
5x + 1 = 11
5x = 11 - 1
5x/5= 10/5
x = 2 


You can now plug this x-value back into
either equation, and solve for y:

y = 2(x) + 1
y = 2(2) + 1
y = 5

Create a fraction with a denominator of 100 that is equivalent to 2/10

Answers

A fraction with a denominator of 100 that is equivalent to 2/10 is 20/100. This is so because 10 x 10=100 and 2 x 10=20.
20/100 is the answer

Katie has read 32% of a book. if she has read 80 pages, how many more pages does Katie have left to read ?

Answers

Hi

100%-32% = 68%

32% ⇒ 80 pages
68% ⇒ x pages

32x = 80·(68)
32x = 5440
x = 5440/32
x = 170 pages left to read

Answer: 170 pages


Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=total number of pages.

1)we calculate the total number of pages.

32% of x =80

(32/100)x=80

x=(80*100)/32

x=250.

2) we calculate the number of pages don´t read.

number of pages don´t read=250-80=170  

Answer: 170 pages.
