-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Answer:
ok here ya go
Step-by-step explanation:
A way that I would teach someone something that I learned in math this year to someone else is simple. I would start by writing everything out so that they have a visual of what I am teaching them. I would also use a visual of a real world situation so that it relates to something they would understand. Teaching someone younger than you means they probably will not understand as easy as you understood it so, I would be very slow and make sure if they are confused to help them. I would also make sure not to be too bossy, understanding that they may not understand and that is ok.
In a set of data, to find the median you first have to order your data from greatest to least then find the center or (median) of your data. E is your answer.
