2x+5y= 3 -x+ 3y= -7 Using Elimination

1 answer:

3 0

2x + 5y = 3
-x + 3y = -7

multiply the second equation by 2
-2x + 6y = -14

2x + 5y = 3
-2x + 6y = -14

add two equations
2x + 5y = 3
+ -2x + 6y = -14
------------------------------
11y = -11
y= -1

substitute -1 to any of the equations
2x + 5(-1) = 3
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 8
x = 4

so the final answers are..
x = 4 , y = -1

Which of the following equations has the same solutions as x^2+8x+2=0

denis23 [38]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Need the choices.....

essentially, you can multiply this equation by any constant to get an equivalent equation with the same solutions.

x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0 multiply both sides by '3' to get

3x^2 + 24 x + 6 = 0 <===== this will have the same solutions

or this one:

x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0 Multiply both sides by '6' to get
