Answer:
(- 6, 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + 2y = - 18 → (1)
2x + 9y = - 12 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate the term in x, that is
6x + 4y = - 36 → (3)
- 6x - 27y = 36 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x
- 23y = 0
y = 0
Substitute y = 0 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x
Substituting into (1)
3x + 0 = - 18
3x = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 6
Solution is (- 6, 0 )
Ratio and propoertion
6 to 4=x to 6
6:4=x:6
6/4=x/6
3/2=x/6
mutiply both sides by 6
18/2=x
9=x

Answer:
x = 3 and 7
There are two true solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve
, use inverse operations by squaring both sides of the equal sign.

The quadratic expression can be factored into binomials and set equal to 0 by the zero product property to find x.
(x - 3) ( x - 7) = 0
x-3 = 0 so x=3
x-7 = 0 so x=7
Now check each solution into the original equation to be sure it solve the solution and is not extraneous.
