Four consecutive odd integers, eh?
Let x be the first of these odd integers. The next odd integer is thus <span>x+2</span>, and the next is <span>x+4</span>, and the last is <span>x+6</span>.
The sum of all four of these is 232, so you have
<span><span><span>x+x+2+x+4+x+6=232</span><span>4x+12=232</span></span></span>
Lanzetta Elem. raised 5358....round to 5,000
Lantana Mid. Sch raised 2834....round to 3,000
Atlanta High Sch. raised 4132...round to 4,000
they need 14,000...they have (5,000 + 3,000 + 4,000) = 12,000....so they will need (14,000 - 12,000) = 2,000 more....keep in mind, these are estimates...not exact answers
Say you had this problem:
-4x - 2y= -12
4x +8y = -24
First you would have to cancel out one part of the equation to get on variable alone. In this case it's easy it would be -4x and 4x. So then you would cancel those out.
Now we have
-2y= -12
8y =-24
so then you just add them all up
6y=-36
Next you just divide both sides by 6
so then you answer for y would be -6.
Next you would choose one of your equations and plug the -6 in.
So it would be
-4x -2 (-6) =-24
So you would times negative 2 by negative 6, which would be positive 12. Since a negative times a negative equales a positive.
-4x + 12= -24
Next you would minus 12 on both sides.
-4x + 12=-24
- 12 = -12
The 12's would cancel out and then you just minus -24 by -12 which you would ended up just plusing them together because a negative plus a negative equales a negative. Or a negative minus a negative number would end up adding them up.
-4x= -36
Next you would get x alone and how you would do that is you would divide -4 in both sides which would cancel them -4 out then it would be divided by -36.
So it would look like this.
-4x= -36
-4 -4
So negative 36 divided by negative 4 is 9.
So your final answer would be
y= -6
x= 9
I hope I explained to you properly how to do systems of equations by elimination.
