The elimination method works by adding the two equations and eliminating one variable. Then you solve an equation in one variable. Finally, you use substitution or elimination again to find the other variable. Sometimes, by simply adding the equations, a variable is not eliminated. Then you need to multiply one or both equations by a factor to get a variable to be eliminated.

A)
2x - 4y = 8
x + 3y = -11

Adding the equations does not eliminate x or y.
Notice that in the first equation, every coefficient is even. We can divide both sides of the first equation by 2. Then the first term would be x. Instead, let's divide both sides of the first equation by -2. Then the x's will be eliminated.

-x + 2y = -4   <-- The first equation divided by -2
x + 3y = -11  <-- The original second equation. Now we add the equations.
----------------
      5y = -15

        y = -3

Now that we know y = -3, we substitute it into the first original equation and solve for x.

2x - 4y = 8

2x - 4(-3) = 8

2x + 12 = 8

2x = -4

x = -2

Answer: x = -2; y = -3

B)
We see that the x's will be eliminated by addition. Just add the equations.

-3x + 7y = 9
 3x  - 7y = 1
---------------
   0 + 0   = 10

0 = 10  <---- this is a false statement, so this system of equations has no solution.

Answer:

They are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

They have the same slope, 7, and different y-intercepts, 4, -1/4, so they are parallel.

You are given 3 to 1 odds against tossing three tails with three​ coins, meaning you win ​$3 if you succeed and you lose ​$1 if
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
  • your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
  • Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
  • Probability(x)=P(x)\\P(0)=\frac{1}{8} \\P(1)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(2)=\frac{3}{8} \\P(3)=\frac{1}{8}
  • The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
  • E(X)=(0)(0.125)+(1)(0.375)+(2)(0.375)+(3)(0.125)=1.5
  • Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
  • So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
  • But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games

Lou’s Shoes is having its annual Flag Day Sale and is offering a 25% discount on all regularly priced shoes. Kayla spends $13.50
patriot [66]
The easiest way to think of these is to put them in terms of percentages.  Obviously, if you are SAVING 25%, you are SPENDING 75%.  So if she SPENDS 13.50, we can easily use the 75% in an equation. $13.50 = .75x, with x being what the shoes cost originally.  The .75 indicates that she is spending 75% of what the original cost is. You don't have any examples to pick from, but this is the best way to explain what one of the equations could be.  You could also base it on money saved, but the equation is not quite as neat.
