To solve this equation by elimination, what you would do is multiply one of the equations by -1, or distribute -1 to each term in the equation, any of the 2 equations. Then align the equations and add them together.
-(X + 3y = 3)
-X - 3y = -3
-X - 3y = -3
X + 6y = 3
__________
3y = 0
y = 0/3 = 0.
Now we can solve for x, by simply plugging the value of y into any of the 2 equations.
X + 6y = 3
X + 6(0) = 3
X + 0 = 3
X = 3.
The solution to your system of equations would be (3,0).
Check this by plugging in the point to the other equation and see if it is true.
X + 3y = 3
(3) + 3(0) = 3
3 + 0 = 3
3 = 3.
Thus it is the solution.
Answer:
B. The student did not properly apply the addition property to isolate x
Explanation:
When given an equation to solve, always remember that when you do an external operation (add/subtract/multiply a term or divide by a term) on one side of the equation, the same operation should be applied on the other side in order to maintain the equality of the equation.
Now, let's take a look on the steps done:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
3 = -x
Now, note n step 2, the student wanted to get rid of the 2 next to the x, therefore, he subtracted 2. However, the student did not subtract the 2 from the other side of the equation. Since we're taking addition (we're adding a -2), therefore, the student incorrectly applied the addition property to isolate the x.
The correct steps would be as follows:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 - 2 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
1 = - x
