Pick 2 pairs of equations t<span>hen use addition and subtraction to eliminate </span>the same variable<span> from both pairs of equations then it is left with 2 variables
</span>Pick two pairs
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span><span>2x + y + 3z = 0
</span></span>eliminate the same variable from each system
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>-4x - 2y - 6z = 0</span>
<span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>-2x + 4y - 10z = 34</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34
</span></span>Solve the system of the two new equations:
<span><span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34</span>
<span>-12z = 24</span>
which is , <span>z = - 2</span>
<span>-5y - 5(- 2) = - 10</span>
<span>-5y = - 20</span>
wich is , <span>y = 4
</span></span>substitute into one of the original equations
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>- x + 2(4) - 5(- 2) = 17</span>
<span>- x + 18 = 17</span>
<span>- x = - 1</span>
<span>x = 1</span>
<span>which is , </span><span>(x, y, z) = (1, 4, - 2)</span><span>
</span>Does 2(1) + 4 + 3(- 2) = 0<span> ? Yes</span><span>

Driving for 2 hours and 45 minutes at an average speed of 60 miles per hour.
2 hours and 45 minutes = 2 hours and 45 minutes 0r 2.75 hrs _________ 60minutes
D = rt = 60mph *2.75hr = 165mi
Answer:
(a) 
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the value of x is 13 because 2 times 13 equals 26 and 26 plus 6 equals 32.
Answer:
Membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change from Year 3 to Year 5 will be given by the slope of the line joining the points;
(3, 96.8) and (5, 83.6)
The slope of a line given two points is calculated as;
( change in y)/( change in x)
In this case y is the number of members for a given year x.
average rate of change = (83.6-96.8)/(5-3)
= -6.6
Since the number of members is given in thousands, we have;
-6,600
The negative sign implies a decrease in the number of members. Therefore, membership decreased by an average of 6,600 people per year from Year 3 to Year 5
