The elimination method is used for solving linear systems of equations.It is way of solving a linear system of equations.In the elimination method we either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable.The main concept behind elimination method is to create terms with opposite coefficients because they cancel each other when added.

When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

When Heather has to solve this system of equations using elimination her first step will be to make the coefficients of x or y the same   so that one of the variable is eliminated on addition or subtraction of the equations.

I don’t know what the equation is but when using elimination you should cancel out opposite numbers such as 4x and negative 4x

How to solve for quadratic equations with inequalities?
Inga [223]
First solve the quadratic as you would an equation, so you will get two real zeroes p and q so that (x-p)(x-q)=0 is another way of expressing the quadratic. All quadratics can be represented graphically by a parabola, which could be inverted. When the x² coefficient is negative it’s inverted. If the coefficient of x² isn’t 1 or -1 divide the whole quadratic by the coefficient so that it takes the form x²+ax+b, where a and b are real fractions. The curve between the zeroes will be totally below the x axis for an upright parabola, and totally above for an inverted parabola. This fact is used for inequalities. An inequality will be <, ≤, > or ≥. This makes it easy to solve the inequality. If the position of the curve between the zeroes is below the axis then outside this interval it will be above, and vice versa. So we’ve defined three zones. x

q, and p

A polynomial function is given.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look what happens if you do the multiplication of P(x):

P(x) = x^3 - 9x

This is a variation of the basic cubing function y = x^3.

The graph begins in QIII and ends in QI; in other words, if you go left the graph drops; if you go right, the graph rises (without limit, in both cases).

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.

We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.

\text{Distance}}=\text{Time}\times \text{Speed}

d=8r...(1)

We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.

d=6(r+16)...(2)

Upon equating equation (1) and equation (2), we will get:

8r=6(r+16)

8r=6r+96

8r-6r=6r-6r+96

2r=96

\frac{2r}{2}=\frac{96}{2}

r=48

Upon substituting r=48 in equation (1), we will get:

d=8r\Rightarrow 8(48)=384

Therefore, Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains.
