Question

can i get some help, im pretty sure i know how to do this problem but can someone check it?

Answer 1

whats your question?

Answer 2

x/5 2/3 5/y

Answer 3

are these the answer mads?

Answer 4

tht was the question

after that i get 3x+2y=25

Answer 5

hmmm well r u just supposed to fill in for x? or is it like combine like terms?

Answer 6

i have to find x and y

Answer 7

alright gimme a min to figure it out

Answer 8

alright your answer is 5

Answer 9

3(5) + 2(5) = 25

Answer 10

for x or y?

Answer 11

so x and y are both 5?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

it gives the answer of 25 and im not sure you could fit another number it ones place and get the same answer.

Answer 14

but then it wuld be 5/5=2/3=5/5.... tht doesnt work O.o

Answer 15

x/3=2/3=5/y

Answer 16

x and y

Answer 17

You must set Y equal to zero to find X and vise-versa. So To find X, your question will look like this: 3x+2(0)=25 And to solve for Y: 3(0)+2y=25

Answer 18

Mads was given that answer already, anothonys. It isn't correct..

Answer 37

um, i am sure amistre can help further

Answer 38

he is good with explaining

Answer 39

hey @mads4566 since you are only given one equation you have to solve this by trial and error

Answer 40

ok, my first question is; what was the original question?

Answer 41

3x+2y=25 there are infinite many solutions how many solutions are you looking for?

Answer 42

look at that first question as two different questions:

X 2 5 2
--- = --- AND --- = ---
5 3 Y 3

Answer 43

x/5=2/3=5/y is the originl

Answer 44

i have to find x and y

Answer 45

so its a group of proportions is what it looks like to me

Answer 46

cross multiplying will seem like a good bet

Answer 47

OO so x=10/3 and y = 15/2

Answer 48

use that equation maker thingy :)

Answer 49

how could x possibly be 10/3?

Answer 50

yeah @amistre64

Answer 51

x/5=2/3 ; multiply by 3*5 to clear the fractions

3x = 10; divide off the 3

x = 3/10


2/3=5/y ; multiply thru by 3*y to clear the fractions

2y = 15; divide off teh 2

y = 15/2

Answer 52

so i need to sollve for one at a time instead or extending cross multiplication ... like x/5=2/3 and solve for x

Answer 53

your x is wrong bro

Answer 54

its simpler to do them one at a time

Answer 55

Oohhh

Answer 56

yeah, typoed it :) x = 10/3

Answer 57

Thank you so much!! :)

Answer 58

youre welcome, the idea is to make them all equal, and since you have a solid value to work with; equate the unknowns to that one

Answer 59

finicky; x is any value that makes it work :)
