Solving by elimination 5x+2y= -3 3x+3y=9 please help me solve x and y

Mathematics

1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
                                             ⇒ -9x=27
     2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18

2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3 

3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6

Answer: (-3,6)

Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.

Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>

a roller coaster can take 24 riders in a single trip. 72 people went through the line to ride the roller coaster. how many trips
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

3 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

We would divide the amount of riders the roller coaster could take in a single trip by the total number of riders to determine how many trips it can make.

max amount of riders/total riders

72/24 = 3

Hence, the rollercoaster made 3 trips.

Julie is a math tutor. She charges each student $210 for the first 7 hours of tutoring and $20 for each additional hour.
Maksim231197 [3]
She spent 17 hours tutoring

$210 = 7 hours

$20 x 10 hours = $200

$210 + $200 = $410
7 Hours + 10 Hours = 17 Hours

What is the y cordinate of the solution<br>solve 8 and 9<br>​
Flauer [41]

Answer:

8) The y coordinate of the solution: 4

9) Average of change from x = 2 to x = 4: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

8)

y = 2x + 2

y = x^2 + 3

So

x^2 + 3 = 2x + 2

x^2 - 2x + 3 - 2 = 0

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0

(x - 1)^2 = 0

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

Plug in x = 1 into either those 2 equations to find y

y = 2(1) + 2 = 4

or

y = (1)^2 +  3 = 1 + 3 = 4

Answer:

The y coordinate of the solution is 4

9)

p(x) = x^2 + 5x - 2

p(2) = 2^2 + 5(2) - 2 = 4 + 10 - 2 = 12

p(4) = 4^2 + 5(4) - 2 = 16 + 20 - 2 = 34

Average of change from x = 2 to x = 4:

[p(4) - p(2)]/[(x(4) - x(2)] = (34 - 12)/(4-2) = 22 /2 = 11

Answer:

Average of change from x = 2 to x = 4 :11
