1/5x – 1/3y = 30, when y = 15?
Answers
Answer:
x=9/1351
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5x - 1/3y=30
1/5x- 1/3×15=30 since y=15
1/5x- 1/45=30
1/5x=30+1/45
1/5x=1351/45
1/x=(1351/45)×5
1/x=(1351/9)
therefore x=9/1351
Answer:
5)x-(2/3)y=30, where y=15
(1/5)x-(2/3)15=30
(1/5)x-(30/3)=30
x/5–10=30
x/5-(10–10)=30+10
x/5–0=40
x/5=40
(x/5)5=(40)5
x=
200
Or,
1/(5x)-2/(3y)=30, where y=15
1/(5x)-2/(3×15)=30
1/(5x)-2/(45)=30 (Multiply all terms by x to remove the independent variable x from the denominator)
x[1/(5x)-2/(45)=30]
1/5–2x/45=30x
(-2/45)x+1/5–30x=30x-30x
(-2/45)x—(1350/45)x+1/5=0
(-1352/45)x+1/5=0
(-1352/45)x+(1/5–1/5)=0–1/5
(-1352/45)x=-1/5
[(-1352/45)x](-45/1352)=-1/5(-45/1352) (Cancel the common factor 5 in the denominator and the numerator on the right side of the equation)
x=-1/1(-9/1352)
x=-(-9/1352)
x=
9/1352
