x+1=y/4 and 4x=y/5

Question

x+1=y/4 and 4x=y/5

kc_kennylau · Answer

what's $s$? :)

kittiwitti1 · Answer

He's probably asking us to find s...

kc_kennylau · Answer

But $n$ equations $n$ unknowns...

kittiwitti1 · Answer

He just changed it to 5...

x=1/4
y=5

kc_kennylau · Answer

lol ok
@gioson5 There are 4 approaches:
1. Make $x$ the subject of $(1)$ and substitute it into $(2)$.
2. Make $y$ the subject of $(1)$ and substitute it into $(2)$.
3. Make $x$ the subject of $(2)$ and substitute it into $(1)$.
4. Make $y$ the subject of $(2)$ and substitute it into $(1)$.

How the heck does x=1/4?
O_O WOAH. @kc_kennylau

@Takuno don't just give out answers please :)

kittiwitti1 · Answer

$$x=\frac{y}{4}-1,~y=5(4x)$$you decide which one to use in substitution

anonymous · Answer

ok, because equation one equals y/4 and equation two equals y/5 so the ratio of (equation one)/(equation two) = 5/4. therefore look at the left hand side of both of the equations, (x+1)/(4x) = 5/4 and then you can use cross multiplication.
