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.

25 points Please explain your answer, thank you!
Mashutka [201]

The answer is B.

For an expression to be a polynomial term, any variables in the expression must have whole number powers.

-3/x isn’t a polynomial term because the variable is in the denominator.

A hotel swimming pool is made up of four semicircles and a square. Find the perimeter of the swimming pool. Round your answer to
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

62.8yd

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for circumference of a circle = 2 π r

The perimeter is 4 semi circles, so 2 full circles. The diameter is 10yd and the radius is half the diameter, so the radius is 5yd

working:

2 x π x 5 = 31.4yd

31.4 x 2 = 62.8yd
