X + 6y = 2 4x - 3y = 10 Pick the first step to solving this system of equations using the addition method.

1 answer:

4 0

This one is the correct answer----->Multiply the bottom equation by 2 thus eliminating the y variable when the equations are added together.

X + 6y = 2 ....top
4x - 3y = 10...bottom

if we multiply the bottom equation by 2 .......... => 8x - 6y = 20
if we add it to the top one..........>(8+1)x +(6-6)y = (20+2)
then we solve for x => x = 22/9

then with the top equation, we solve for y == > y = -2/27

Find two numbers that have a sum of -2 and a product of -48 (please show work if possible)

andreev551 [17]

Answer: -8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48

1 x 48

2 x 24

4 x 12

6 x 8

for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.

for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.

and then we check:

-8 x 6 = 48

-8 + 6 = -2
