Answer is (-7,5)

Answer:

(-7 , 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For elimination method, you are "eliminating" one of the variables. This is achieved by relegating factors or multiples away so that both given expressions share the same term, which can be "eliminated".

In this case, you have the shared term of 7y. Isolate the term. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

For the first equation, Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

3x + 7y = 14

3x (-3x) + 7y = 14 (-3x)

7y = -3x + 14

For the second equation, subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

2x + 7y = 21

2x (-2x) + 7y = 21 (-2x)

7y = -2x + 21

~

Note that both of them now share the same result, that being 7y. Using the equivalent system of equations (or expressions), you can solve them.

-3x + 14 = 7y

-2x + 21 = 7y

∴ -3x + 14 = -2x + 21

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 2x and subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

-3x (+2x) + 14 (-14) = -2x (+2x) + 21 (-14)

-3x + 2x = 21 - 14

-x = 7

(-x)/-1 = (7)/-1

x = -7

~

Next, plug in -7 as x for one of the given equations to solve for y:

2x + 7y = 21

2(-7) + 7y = 21

First, simply by multiplying 2 with -7:

(2 * -7) + 7y = 21

(-14) + 7y = 21

7y - 14 = 21

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, add 14 to both sides of the equation:

7y - 14 (+14) = 21 (+14)

7y = 21 + 14

7y = 35

Next, divide 7 from both sides of the equation:

(7y)/7 = (35)/7

y = 35/7 = 5

y = 5

~

Therefore, (-7 , 5) is your answer.

Using a rounded version of a conversion ratio allows for a quick estimate of a unit conversion
dolphi86 [110]

The conversion ratio that can be illustrated will be converting 2030m to kilometers.

<h3>How to illustrate the conversion?</h3>

The unit conversion that can be illustrated based on the information can be convert 2030m to kilometers.

It should be noted that 1000 meters makes 1 kilometer. Therefore, rounding up 2030m mentally will be 2000m and the conversion to kilometers will be:

= 2000/1000

= 2 km

It costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. How much does it cost for 12 square feet of flooring?
belka [17]
We know that it costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. To find out how much it costs for 12, we first have to find out how much it costs for 1 square foot.
To find that, we would do $68 divided by 16, which is 4.25.
That means 1 square foot costs $4.25.
Then, we would multiply $4.25 by 12 to find how much 12 square feet costs.
$4.25 times 12 is 51.

So, it would cost $51 to have 12 square feet of flooring.
