Elimination using addition and subtraction. -4x+4y=-20 -2x+4y=-2

Mathematics
2 answers:
Orlov [11]3 years ago

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

Ind the slope and y intercept of -9x+3y=5
Radda [10]

Answer:

first, you need to get y on one side. So, because the x is negative it becomes positive when you switch it to the other side. 3y= 9x+5. You then need to divide all parts by 3. 3/3= 1 so thats just y. 9/3 is 3 so thats 3x. then 5/3 is a fraction that you can write as just 5/3 or 1 and 2/3. That would leave you with y= 3x + 5/3. Then x (3) is your slope. and what you add to it (5/3) is your y int.

I need help quick. I will mark as brainliest.​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The slope is -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you do rise/run. So to get from one point to the other, you would move 5 units down, and 1 unit to the right.

It can be written as -5/1 or -5.

Hope this helps!
