-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
To solve by elimination, multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2.
3(-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38) --> -6<em>x</em> + 18<em>y</em> = -114
2(3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32) --> 6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64
Add the equations.
-6<em>x </em>+ 18<em>y</em> = -114
6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64
+_____________
0 + 10<em>y</em> = -50
10<em>y</em> = -50
<em>y</em> = -5
Substitute -5 for y into one of the original equations to find x.
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
3<em>x</em> - 4(-5) = 32
3<em>x</em> + 20 = 32
3<em>x</em> = 12
<em>x</em> = 4
Check work by plugging the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-values into both of the original equations.
-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38
-2(4) + 6(-5) = -38
-8 - 30 = 38
38 = 38
3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32
3(4) - 4(-5) = 32
12 + 20 = 32
32 = 32
Answer:
<em>x</em> = 4 and <em>y</em> = -5; (4, -5).
Answer:
Leaving it in Radical form
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot write out the entire real decimal without having to round because it is a never ending decimal like pi. If you are looking to type it into a calculator then radical form is best. However, if you are looking to add it to a decimal then converting to a decimal to show your work would be better than showing a radical.
Answer:
(0,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we must arrange this equation into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b form.
Equation: y-8=2x
Add 8 to both sides: y=2x+8
Now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, it is easy to find the y-intercept, as it is just the b-value.
In this case, the b-value is 8, so the y-intercept is (0,8).
