so hmm the idea behind the elimination, is to make the value atop or below, of either variable, the same but with a negative sign
so hmmm say... we'll eliminate "y"
so... let's see, we have 2y and 5y, both positive
what do we multiply 2y to get a negative -5y, that way, -5y +5y = 0 and poof it goes
well let's see, let's try "k"

so.. if we multiply 2y by -5/2, we'll end up with -5y
well, let's multiply that first equation then by -5/2

so.. now we know x = 1.... so let's plug that in say hmmm 2nd equation
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 4 = 2x + 1
-x -x
4 = 1x + 1
-1 -1
3 = 1x
-- --
1 1
3 = x
Check:
3 + 4 = 2(3) + 1
7 = 6 + 1
7 = 7
I could help you about the hyperbola.
have fun and feel free posing some questions
Additive inverses are numbers that add up to zero, such as 1 and -1. Z is the additive inverse of -1/9, so z is 1.9.
1.9 + -1.9 =0.
Drag the -1.9 icon to just one mark to the right of -2 on the number line, since each dash equals 0.1. Drag z to just one mark to the left of 2 on the number line.The sum will be zero, so drag the sum icon to 0 on the number line.
