Answer:
The value of x is 200 in the equation 1/5x - 2/3y = 30, when y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
equation: x - 2/3y = 30
when y = 15
Plug in y:
1/5x - 2/3(15) = 30
1/5x - 10 = 30
add 10 to both sides,
1/5x - 10 + 10 = 30 + 10
1/5x = 40
multiply both sides by 5
1/5x * 5= 40 * 5
x = 200
Answer:
x = 200
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} -\frac{2y}{3} =30[/tex]
Given that, y = 15.
So, to find the value of x you have to replace y with 15 and make the x the subject.
Let us do that now.
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} -\frac{2*15}{3} =30\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} -\frac{30}{3} =30\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} =30+ \frac{30}{3}\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} =\frac{30}{1} + \frac{30}{3}\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} =\frac{30*3}{1*3} + \frac{30}{3}\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} =\frac{90}{3} + \frac{30}{3}\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1x}{5} =\frac{120}{3}[/tex]
Use cross multiplication.
[tex]1x*3=120*5\\3x=600[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 200
