Solve the system of equations. 2.5y + 3x = 27 5x – 2.5y = 5 what equation is the result of adding the two equations? what is the solution to the system?

The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32.  

The solution to the system is ( 4; 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we add the two equations.

2.5y + 3x =27

+

-2.5y +5x   = 5

8x= 32

The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32

the next step is solving the equation:

8x= 32

x=32/8

x= 4

Substituting the value of x in any of the original equations:

2.5y +3x= 27

2.5y +3(4) =27

2.5y +12=27

2.5y  = 27-12

2.5y = 15

y= 15/2.5

y=6

So, the solution to the system is ( 4; 6)

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

The solution to this system is (4, 1/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please separate these two equations for clarity.  I like to write them in column format:

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

8x           = 32, and x = 4.

Subbing 4 for x in the second equation yields 5(4) - 2.5y = 5.

Then 20 - 2.5y = 5, or 15 = 2.5y.  Solving for y, we get y = 1/6.

The solution to this system is thus (4, 1/6).

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
