Answer:
13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
find the GCF = 4
52 / 4 = 13
60 / 4 = 15
The two original functions are 4x+9y=7 and 4x-9y=9
To use the combination method, add all the values of the two equations together to cancel out one of the variables
4x+4x+9y-9y=7+9
8x=16
8x/8=16/8
x=2
4(2)+9y=7
8+9y=7
8-8+9y=7-8
9y=-1
y=-
The question gives you 4 different numbers that could be x, so you have to replace each x in each problem and solve. If the two answers are equivalent, that is your answer. For the first one, 6 times 2 is 12, minus 2 is 10. 5 times 2 is 10, plus 3 is 13. 10 is not equal to 13, so that is not the answer. For 5, 6 times 5 is 30, minus 2 is 28. 5 times 5 is 25, plus 3 is 28, so therefore the answer is x=5
-1/3(px-2) = 9
ok! so first we want to isolate x.
multiply both sides by -3/1 (this is the reciprocal of -1/3)
(px-2) = -27
px = -27 + 2
px = -25
x = -25/p
hope this helped!
