24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems of equation

10x - 16y = 12

5x - 3y = 4

Step 2: Rewrite one of the equations

5x = 4 + 3y

x = 4/5 + 3y/5

Step 3: Solve for y using Substitution

Substitute 2nd rewritten equation into 1: 10(4/5 + 3y/5) - 16y = 12Distribute the 10 to both terms: 40/5 + 30y/5 - 16y = 12Simplify the fractions down: 8 + 6y - 16y = 12Combine like terms (y): 8 - 10y = 12Subtract 8 on both sides: -10y = 4Divide both sides by -10: y = 4/-10Simply the fraction down: y = -2/5

Step 4: Substitute y back into an original equation to solve for x

Substitute: 5x - 3(-2/5) = 4Multiply: 5x + 6/5 = 4Subtract 6/5 on both sides: 5x = 14/5Divide both sides by 5: x = 14/25

Step 5: Check to see if solution set (14/25, -2/5) is a solution.

Substitute into an original equation: 10(14/25) - 16(-2/5) = 12Multiply each term: 28/5 + 32/5 = 12Add: 12 = 12

Here, we see that x = 14/25, y = -2/5 and solution (14/25, -2/5) indeed works.

Step 6: Find x - y

x = 14/25

y = -2/5

Substitute: 14/25 - (-2/5)Simplify (change signs): 14/25 + 2/5Add: 24/25

Hope this helped! :)

$\displaystyle x-y=\frac{24}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the system:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 10x-16y=12 & \quad \\ 5x-3y=4& \quad \end{array} \right.$

And asked to find the value of x - y if (x, y) is a solution to the above system.

Thus, let's solve the system. We can use eliminiation

We can see that the coefficients of x share a LCM.

Multiplying the second equation by negative two yields:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 10x-16y=12 & \quad \\ -10x+6y=-8 & \quad \end{array} \right.$

Adding the two equations yields:

(10x-10x)+(-16y+6y)=(12+(-8))

Simplify:

-10y=4

Solve for y:

$\displaystyle y = \frac{4}{(-10)} = -\frac{2}{5}$

To find x, substitute y for either equation and evaluate. The second equation states that:

5x-3y=4

Substitute:

$\displaystyle 5x-3\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)=4$

Multiply:

$\displaystyle 5x+\frac{6}{5}=4$

And solve for x:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 5x+\frac{6}{5} &= 4 \\ \\ 5x &= \frac{14}{5} \\ \\ x &= \frac{14}{25}\end{aligned}$

Hence, our solution to the system is:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{14}{25},- \frac{2}{5}\right)$

We want to find the value of:

x-y

Substitute:

$\displaystyle = \left(\frac{14}{25}\right) - \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)$

Evaluate. Hence:

$\displaystyle x - y = \frac{24}{25}$

And we're done!

Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. their names are rexy, bronto, steggy, paly, and terry. there are exactly 5 dozen wings(equal enough for each dino to have a dozen right? ); however, terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings. if paly eats 2 more than terry, steggy eats 4 more than paly, and bronto and rexy eat the same amount because they are really hungry from not eating all day, how many chicken wings did each dino eat?
