  • 4x-2y=7
  • 3x-3y=15

The step is

Multiply 3 with eq(1) and multiply -4 with eq(3)

Then x coefficient becomes 12 and -12 respectively so you can cancel then out

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given <u>system of equations</u>:

\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations <u>sum to zero</u>.  To do this, the chosen variable must have the <u>same coefficient</u>, but it should be <u>negative</u> in one equation and <u>positive</u> in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is <u>eliminated</u>.

<u>To eliminate the </u><u>variable y</u>:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 to make the coefficient of the y variable -6:

\implies 2(3x-3y=15) \implies 6x-6y=30

Add the two equations together to <u>eliminate y</u>:

\begin{array}{l r r}& -12x+6y= &-21\\+ & 6x-6y= & 30\\\cline{1-3}& -6x\phantom{))))))} = & 9\end{array}

<u>Solve</u> for x:

\implies -6x=9

\implies x=-\dfrac{9}{6}=-\dfrac{3}{2}

<u>Substitute</u> the found value of x into one of the equations and <u>solve for y</u>:

\implies 3\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)-3y=15

\implies -\dfrac{9}{2}-3y=15

\implies -3y=\dfrac{39}{2}

\implies y=-\dfrac{39}{2 \cdot 3}

\implies y=-\dfrac{13}{2}

A washing machine sells for $201 after being discounted by 40 percent. What was the original price of the washing machine?
olga_2 [115]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price be x

Price after 40% discount is $201

Therefore

x × 40% = $201

x = 201 ÷ (40/100)

x = 502.5

Therefore, the original price is $502.5

Hope it helps :)

Brrunno [24]

The Ratio would be 43:100.

Lets simplify the problem,

Expected increase of nurses = 711900

Expected increase of physicians = 168300

Ratio = Expected increase of nurses / Expected increase of physicians

Ratio = 711900 / 168300

= 43/100

Ratio = 43:100
