Use the substitution method to determine the solution of the system of equations. y = -5x and 21x - 7y = 28

x = 1/2   y = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know an equation for y, we just need to plug it into the other equation.

21x - 7(-5x) = 28

21x + 35x = 28

56x = 28

x = 1/2

Now that we know x, we substitute it into the other equation, to find y.

y = -5x

y = -5(1/2)

= -5/2

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
