2x - y = 9

3x + 4y = -14

To solve this system using elimination, one of the pairs of variable terms must cancel each other out. Their coefficients must be opposites of each other.

Multiply the top equation by 4.

2x - y = 9

4(2x - y = 9)

8x - 4y = 36

Add the equations together.

8x - 4y = 36

3x + 4y = -14

+___________

11x - 0 = 22

11x = 22

x = 2

Substitute 2 for x into either of the original equations to find y.

2x - y = 9

2(2) - y = 9

4 - y = 9

-y = 5

y = -5

Finally, check work by plugging x- and y-values into each original equation.

2(2) - (-5) = 9 --> 4 + 5 = 9 --> 9 = 9 --> True

3(2) + 4(-5) = -14 --> 6 - 20 = -14 --> -14 = -14 --> True

Answer:

x = 2 and y = -5; (2, -5).

a) The halfway number is \frac{-4.5}{10}.

b) The ascending order is \frac{-1}{2},\frac{-4.5}{10}and \frac{-2}{5}.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

a)Halfway number is otherwise Middle number.

The halfway number of two numbers = \frac{sum of two numbers}{2}.

The halfway for \frac{-2}{5} and \frac{-2}{5} = \frac{\frac{-2}{5}+ (\frac{-1}{2})}{2}.

=\frac{-2}{5}+ (\frac{-1}{2}).

= \frac{-4-5}{10}.

=\frac{-9}{10}.

∴Halfway =\frac{\frac{-9}{10} }{2}.

=\frac{-4.5}{10}

The halfway for \frac{-2}{5} and \frac{-1}{2}= \frac{-4.5}{10}.

b) The ascending order is \frac{-1}{2},\frac{-4.5}{10}and \frac{-2}{5}.
