1. The equations is inconsistent and has no solution
2. The equations is consistent and has no solution
3. A pen costs $1.50 and a notebook costs $2.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving [tex]7x + 3y = 10[/tex] and [tex]3y = 9 - 7x[/tex]
[tex]7x + 3y = 10[/tex] --- Equation 1
[tex]3y = 9 - 7x[/tex] --- Equation 2
Add 7x to both sides in equation 2
[tex]7x + 3y = 9 - 7x + 7x[/tex]
[tex]7x + 3y = 9[/tex] --- Equation 3
Subtract equation 3 from 1
[tex](7x + 3y = 10) - (7x + 3y = 9)[/tex]
[tex]7x - 7x + 3y - 3y = 10 - 9[/tex]
[tex]0 + 0 = 1[/tex]
[tex]0 \neq 1[/tex]
The equations is inconsistent and has no solution
Solving [tex]3x + y = 4[/tex] and [tex]12x + 4y = 16[/tex]
[tex]3x + y = 4[/tex] -- Equation 1
[tex]12x + 4y = 16[/tex] ---- Equation 2
Make y the subject of formula in equation 1
[tex]y = 4 - 3x[/tex]
Substitute 4 - 3x for y in equation 2
[tex]12x + 4(4 - 3x) = 16[/tex]
[tex]12x + 16 - 12x = 16[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]12x - 12x = 16 - 16[/tex]
[tex]0 = 0[/tex]
The equations is consistent and has no solution
3. Solving John and Harry
Given;
Represent Pen with P and Notes with N
John: [tex]3P + 8N = 20.5[/tex]
Harry: [tex]4P + 5N = 16.00[/tex]
Required
Find P and N
Make P the subject of formula in equation 2
[tex]4P = 16 - 5N[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{16 - 5N}{4}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]P = \frac{16 - 5N}{4}[/tex] in equation 1
[tex]3P + 8N = 20.5[/tex]
[tex]3(\frac{16 - 5N}{4}) + 8N = 20.5[/tex]
Open the bracket
[tex]\frac{48 - 15N}{4} + 8N = 20.5[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\frac{48 - 15N + 32N}{4} = 20.5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{48 + 17N}{4} = 20.5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4
[tex]4 * \frac{48 + 17N}{4} = 20.5 * 4[/tex]
[tex]48 + 17N = 82[/tex]
Subtract 48 from both sides
[tex]48 - 48 + 17N = 82 - 48[/tex]
[tex]17N = 82 - 48[/tex]
[tex]17N = 34[/tex]
Divide both sides by 17
[tex]17N/17 = 34/17[/tex]
[tex]N = 34/17[/tex]
[tex]N = 2[/tex]
Substitute 2 for N in [tex]P = \frac{16 - 5N}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{16 - 5 * 2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{16 - 10}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P = \frac{6}{4}[/tex]
[tex]P = 1.5[/tex]
Hence, a pen costs $1.50 and a notebook costs $2.00
