Can you help me solve systems of equations by elimination step by step 6x+y=15 -7x-2y=-10
1 answer:
Answer: (4, -9)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use elimination method. Manipulate one (or both) equations to eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable. <em>I will be eliminating y</em>
6x + y = 15 → 2(6x + y = 15) → 12x + 2y = 30
-7x - 2y = -10 → 1(-7x + 2y = -10) → <u> -7x - 2y = -10</u>
5x = 20
x = 4
Next, replace "x" with "4" into either equation and solve for y.
6(4) + y = 15
24 + y = 15
y = -9
<u>Check:</u>
Plug in x = 4 and y = -9 into the other equation to verify it makes a true statement.
-7x - 2y = -10
-7(4) - 2(-9) = -10
-28 - -18 = -10
-28 + 18 = -10
-10 = -10

Answer: The answers for question 3 are x = 5, y = 13, and z = 10.
Now for question #4. The answer for those are a = 6.40312, b = 6.70820, c = 9.43398, d = 5.29150, e = 4.89898, f = 7.54983.
You would solve all these problems by using this formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with a and b representing two of the legs and c representing the hypotenuse (the longest side.) Simply input the respective numbers for the appropriate variables and solve for the missing variable.
Now lastly question #5. We just need to solve for the diagonal length. The answers are as follows. 5.66, 7.07, and 9.9. You get these answers by using the formula for finding a diagonal in a square which is d=2a
