That's also known as the addition method.
   x + y = 40
.08x+.03y=1.7
We need to multiply the top equation by either a -.08 or a -.03 to eliminate one of the variables.  Let's get rid of the y:
-.03(x + y) = -.03(40) which gives us

-.03x - .03y = -1.2
 .08x + .03y = 1.7
When we add those together we are left with .05x = .5 and x = 10.  If we sub that 10 in for x into the first equation (either would have worked but the first one is way easier to work with!) we get 10 + y = 40 and y = 30.  So the solution to the system is (10, 30)

Write and solve an equation based off the verbal phrase: 6 more than x is equal to 33
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x + 6 = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

6 more than x means there's an increment in the value of x by addition of 6

x + 6 = 33

This leads to an algebraic linear equation. x is an unknown variable and can be solved for

we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

x + 6 - 6 = 33 - 6

x = 27

Therefore, we can say 6 more than 27 is 33

Solve the system using elimination: Help me please<br><br><br>12x - 8y = -12 <br><br>6x + 4y = -30
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

12x - 8y = -12  

6x + 4y = -30

Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:

6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60

Now add the two equations:

12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60

=  24x = -72

Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:

x = -72/24

x = -3

Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:

12(-3) - 8y = -12

-36 - 8y = -12

Add 36 to each side:

-8y = 24

Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:

y = 24 / -8

y = -3

X = -3 and y = -3

Answer:

AB represents a line segment because the points limit the line from continuing on either end.

If you include the ray on the left side, then it would be considered a ray.
