-4x-2y=-12 and 4x+8y=-24 using addition/eliminatin method

Mathematics

Use the elimination method:

-4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -12
--------------------
 0  + 6y = -24

6y = -24
6y/6 = -24/6
y = -4

Plug in -4 for y in one of the equations
-4x - 2y = -12
-4x - 2(-4) = -12
-4x + 8 = -12
-4x + 8 (-8) = -12 (-8)
-4x = -20
-4x/-4 = -20/-4
x = 5

x = 5, y = -4

hope this helps

Elimination method is best because one equation has 4x and the other has -4x. Add the two equations together.

 -4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -24
----------------------
   0 + 6y = - 36

divide by 6 both sides 
y = -6 

use this to find x in either equation.
4x + 8(-6) = -24
4x  - 48 = -24
4x = -24 + 48
4x = 24
x = 6

Let a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} b = {1, 3, 5} c = {4, 6}. find the cardinality of the given set. 33. n(a) 34. n(b) 35. n(a ⋃
bearhunter [10]

1) n(a) = 5


The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in that set. So, you simply need to count how many elements belong to the set, and the answer is 5


2) n(b) = 3


Simlarly, in this case you need to count how many elements belong to the set, the answer is 3


3) n(a ⋃ c) = 6


The union of two set is a set composed by all the elements belonging to either one of the sets, with no repetitions. So, since the first set contains all numbers from 1 to 5, the second set contains a 4, which however already belonged to the first set, but also a 6, which is added in the union. So, a ⋃ c = {1,2,3,4,5,6}, and thus n(a ⋃ c)=6.


4) n(a ⋂ c) = 1


The intersection of two sets is a set composed by the elements belonging to both sets. So, 1,2,3 and 5 don't belong to the intersection, because they belong to the first set alone, while 6 doesn't belong to the intersection because they don't belong to the first one. So, a ⋂ c = {4}, and thus n(a ⋃ c)=1.
