How do you eliminate a variable to solve an equation

I saw your comment on the previous answer and I believe I solved the equation...
3x+y=21/-x+y=-7

If you take the 3x+y=21 and divide the 3 on each side you get x+y=7

If you take the -x+y=-7 and divide the -1 that is attached to the x you get x+y=7

The the equation really ends up being
x+y=7/x+y=7 which are equal, so when the divide each other the equation is just equal to 1

You can't remove a variable but you can separate the variable from the rest of the equation. If you are adding for example 64+x=88 you would subtract the 64 from 88. You will get the value of x. For anything else, you would do the opposite of whatever you are doing. Multiply if you are dividing, add if you are subtracting and hence forth. I hope this helped.

#1. Factor the expression. 4g^2+21g-49
juin [17]

1. You want to find factors of 4×(-49) that add to 21. Those would be +28 and -7. Replacing the term 21g with the sum 28g -7g, we get an expression that can be factored by grouping.

... (4g² +28g) + (-7g -49)

... = 4g(g +7) -7(g +7) = (4g-7)(g+7)

2. After you factor out 5, you have 5(64y² -16y -15). As in the previous problem, you're looking for factors of 64×(-15) = -960 that sum to -16. There are 14 factor pairs of 960, so it can take a little bit of effort to find the right pair. That pair is -40 and 24. As in the previous problem you replace the term -16y with the sum -40y +24y and factor by grouping.

... = 5(64y² -40y +24y -15) = 5(8y(8y -5) +3(8y -5))

... = 5(8y +3)(8y -5)

3. False. It is perhaps easiest to check this by multiplying out the offered factors. Doing that gives you 36k² -36k +8k -8. The collected k terms add to -28k, not -44k.
