Question 81885: respected teacher,
i have a big problem.
we have not learned this yet in the class.
the question is: find four values of(x,y)which satisfy each of the following equations.
1)2x +y = 7
2)x - y = 3
3)x = -y
4)x = y
5)x + y = 11
6)y - 5 = x
i didnt understand whether we have to take every single equation in consideration or only one at a time.
i tried it by taking one in the consideration.
and for the first one got the answer:
2x +y = 7
y = 7-2x
so if we substitute x=3
then, y = 7-2*3
y = 7-6
y = 1
thus if x = 3,then y = 1
and likewise we can get other co-ordinates by substituting x
ps:and if this way is correct for solving this question,dont solve the other sums.just tell me it is correct
thanking you in anticipation,
your student.

Question 82213: My daughter has been struggling tonight with this algebra problem and I couldn't help! Please help! "Six times as many grandstand tickets g as box-seat tickets b were sold for the baseball game. Grandstand tickets cost $10 and box-seat tickets cost $25. The total amount of ticket sales for grandstand and box-seat tickets was $67,320. We need to write a system of equations that describes the above situation and solve for the number of box seats. We believe one equation is 10g + 25b = $67,320, but don't know where to go from there. Help.

Question 82561: Some scientists believe there is a limit to how long humans can live.* One supporting argument is that during the last century, life expectancy from age 65 has increased more slowly than life expectancy from birth, so eventually these two will be equal, at which point, according to these scientists, life expectancy should increase no further. In 1900, life expectancy at birth was 46 yr, and life expectancy at age 65 was 76. In 2000, these figures had risen to 76.9 and 82.9, respectively. In both cases, the increase in life expectancy has been linear. Using these assumptions and the data given, find the maximum life expectancy for humans.

Question 79277: Hello. I'm trying to solve the following system, but I keep running into fractions rather than whole numbers. (1) If I get rid of the fractions on the first equation by multiplying it by 8, then again by 12... and (2) multiply the second equation by 10 to eliminate Y, I get X = 1644/38 or 4.2590.
On the other hand, if I try by susbstitution (Y=5x/12 - 252) from the second equation into the first one, I get X = 79.33.
(7/2)X + (5/4)Y = 4
(5/6)X - 2Y = 21
What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I get a whole number for an answer? Please help. Thanks for your generosity.
