First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.
1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6
2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2
Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.
x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8
Solve for 'y'
4y = -8
y = (-8)/4 = -2
Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
Answer:
1131 students, is the best prediction.
Step-by-step explanation:
1450 divided by 50 = 29
50 - 14 = 36
36 x 29 = 1131
Answer: -3 and 0
Step-by-step explanation: f(x) = g(x) where they intersect. Two lines intersect when they have the same x and y values.
In the first 3 days, I think that Juanita will ride 12500? I'm not sure if that is right but I think it is.
