Question

Solve by using elimination method. fraction numerator 3 x over denominator 5 end fraction minus 2 over 3 equals fraction numerator 2 x over denominator 3 end fraction plus 1 fourth.

hintHint:

let y equals fraction numerator 3 x over denominator 5 end fraction minus 2 over 3 equals fraction numerator 2 x over denominator 3 end fraction plus 1 fourth now find y by eliminating x and find x by substituting y in the equations.

The correct answer is: x = -55/4 (or) -13.75


    Ans :- x = -55/4 (or) -13.75
    Explanation :-
    y equals fraction numerator 9 x minus 10 over denominator 15 end fraction not stretchy rightwards double arrow 15 y plus 10 equals 9 x and y equals fraction numerator 8 x plus 3 over denominator 12 end fraction not stretchy rightwards double arrow 12 y minus 3 equals 8 x
    Step 1 :- find y by eliminating x
    Eliminating x by multiplying the equation with appropriate constants and subtracting them
    8 left parenthesis 15 y plus 10 right parenthesis minus 9 left parenthesis 12 y minus 3 right parenthesis equals 8 left parenthesis 9 x right parenthesis minus 9 left parenthesis 8 x right parenthesis
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 120 y plus 80 minus 108 y plus 27 equals 0 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 107 plus 12 y equals 0
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow y equals negative 107 divided by 12
    Step 2 :- substitute value of y and find x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 15 y plus 10 equals 9 x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 15 left parenthesis negative 107 divided by 12 right parenthesis plus 10 equals 9 x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 5 open parentheses negative 107 over 4 close parentheses plus 10 equals 9 x
    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell not stretchy rightwards double arrow 9 x equals open parentheses negative 495 over 4 close parentheses end cell row cell not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals left parenthesis negative 55 right parenthesis divided by 4 end cell end table
     therefore space x space equals space minus 55 divided by 4 space left parenthesis o r right parenthesis space minus 13.75

    table attributes columnspacing 1em end attributes row cell left parenthesis x plus 2 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis y minus 3 right parenthesis squared equals 40 end cell row cell y equals negative 2 x plus 4 end cell end table
    Which of the following could be the x-coordinate of a solution to the system of equations above?

    Note:
    If we had to find the y-coordinate of the system of equations, then we put this value of x in the equation y equals negative 2 x plus 4 to get the value of y. Here, we got a quadratic equation of x, which did not have any term containing x, so it was easier to solve. If the quadratic equation was of the form  a x squared plus b c plus c equals 0, then we would use the quadratic formula  x equals fraction numerator negative b plus-or-minus square root of b squared minus 4 a c end root over denominator 2 a end fraction to solve the equation.

    2000 minus 61 k equals 48
    In 1962, the population of a bird species was 2,000. The population k years after 1962 were 48, and k satisfies the equation above. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the number 61 in this
    context?

    Note:
    This question could also be solved by eliminating the options. Option A is wrong as the population k years after 1962 is 48, not 61. Option B is wrong because we find the value of k to be 32. Option C is wrong because the difference between the population in 1962 and the population years after 1962 is given by 2000-48=1952.
