For addition:
-4x+4y=-20 (multiply by -1) to get 4x-4y=20
-2x+4y=-2 (Leave as it is) to get -2x+4y=-2
Add together to eliminate the y term
Solve for x (x=9)
Plug in x to either equation to get y (y=4)
Answer: (9,4)

For subtraction:
-4x+4y=-20
-2x+4y=-2
Since the equations are already ready for elimination by subtraction, just Subtract to eliminate the y term
Solve for x (x=9)
Plug in x to either equation to get y (y=4)
Answer: (9,4)

I would subtract the 2nd from the first one

so -4x - -2x = -2x

4y - 4y = 0

-20 - -2 = -18


-2x = -18

now I would divide that by -2 to get the value for x

so no we have x = 9


now you just have to substitute that into one of the equations and simplify to get y


-2 X 9 + 4y = -2

-18 + 4y = -2

4y =16

y = 4

If p(x) = 2x^3 - 3x + 5, what is the remainder of p(x) divided by (x - 5)
Alenkinab [10]

The question is

if p(x)= 2x³-3x+5, what is the remainder of p(x) divided by (x-5)

We use the synthetic division to find the remainder,

x-5=0

x=5

Now, write the coefficients of polynomial.


5 | 2  0  -3    5

   | ↓ 10  50  235

-------------------------------

     2 10  47  | 240→ is the remainder.

Quotient= 2x²+10x+47


Remainder= 240
