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

Mathematics

Orlov [11]4 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

What is the best approximation for the circumference of a circle with a radius of 125 m?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Option B is correct

circumference of a circle is 785 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the circle(C) is given by:

C = 2\pi r

where

r is the radius of the circle

As per the statement:

radius of the circle is 125 m

then substitute in [1] we have

C = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 125

Simplify:

C = 785 m

Therefore, the circumference of a circle is 785 m
