WILL MARK BRAINLY IF CORRECT!

The equations were multiplied by constants and added together to determine that the value of x in the system of equations is –20.

1/5x -1/3y = -1

-3/4x + 1/3y = 12

What is the value of y?
–15
–9
9
15

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y=-9[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

System of equations:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{3}y=-1[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{1}{3}y=12[/tex]

The equations were multiplied by constants and added together to determine that the value of [tex]x[/tex] which = -20

To find the value of [tex]y[/tex].

Solution

In order to find out the value of [tex]y[/tex] in any of the equations, we will plugin the value of [tex]x[/tex] which was found out bu solving the system of equations.

Plugging in [tex]x=-20[/tex] in first equation.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}(-20)-\frac{1}{3}y=-1[/tex]

Solving for [tex]y[/tex]

[tex]-4-\frac{1}{3}y=-1[/tex]

Adding 4 both sides.

[tex]-4+4-\frac{1}{3}y=-1+4[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}y=3[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by -3.

[tex](-3)-\frac{1}{3}y=3\times (-3)[/tex]

∴ [tex]y=-9[/tex]   (Answer)
