Answer:

Dividing by 3 means splitting a number into 3 numbers, all equal. The division sign can be represented by a /.

For example, 12/3=4. We can check our answer by multiplying our answer by 3, and seeing if we get our original answer.

4*3=12

Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that multiplication is a valuable tool to check our work.

Hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations by graphing: 2x + 3y = 2 6x + 18y = 9

The answer is A: x=1/2 , y= 1/3

Solve the following system:
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 1)
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x - 3 y = -1 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+3 y = 1 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 3:
{2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 1/2 | (equation 1)
v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1/2, y = 1/3
