Question

Complete the ordered pair (1/8,  ) so that it is a solution to the equation:

32x + 2y = 26

johnweldon1993 · Answer

well we have an x value right? (x,y)

so we can plug that in for x in the equation

32 ( 1/8) + 2y = 26

what is 32 times 1/8? you do 32 times 1......divided by 8....also known as 4

so we have

4 + 2y = 26

subtract 4 from both sides

2y = 22

divide both sides by 2

y = 11

test it out.


32(1/8) + 2(11) = 26
4 + 22 = 26? 
26 = 26? yes it does...so that is your answer :)
