X+y=8
2x^2-y=-5
elimination method means you link the 2 equations together to make one
these two already have y in the perfect form where you can cancel it out +y and -y so no need to perform any other action to a certain equation.. all you need to do is add them now
2x^2+x=3
answer is 13 but I can't understand the question
I think there is no correct answer in this question!
you can solve this by analytic geometry rules easily!!
Well I got j for this. I picked a prim number for ex 5 and tries it with each problem.
Answer: 23
When using multiplication with brackets, you multiply the number by all the numbers within the bracket before adding them together.
Therefore when it is 8(7 + 23) it basically means: 8(7) + 8(23)
Hopes this helps:
Answer: x = 6
