In order to solve by elimination we first need to find a common multiple of the x or y values. Lets eliminate x. 7 and 2 (both the x values) can both go into 14 without having any left over. In order to turn 7 into 14 we must multiply it by 2. But in this case, we'll multiply the entire equation by 2 in order to not change its value.
14x-4y=34
Now lets do the same for the second equation. In order to turn 2 into 14, we can multiply it by 7, but again we need to multiply the entire equation by 7 so we dont change it's value.
14x+49y=511

Now that we have the same coefficient on both the x's we can get rid of them by subtracting the two equations.

14x+49y=511
14x-4y=34

53y=477
y=9

Now that we have the value for y we can plug it in and solve for x.
7x-2(9)=17
7x-18=17
7x=35
x=5

The value of y is 9 and the value of x is 5.

7x - 2y = 17  .....(i)
2x + 7y = 73......(ii)

Let us eliminate x,  multiply equation (i) by 2 and (ii) by 7.

7x - 2y = 17  .....(i)    x2
2x + 7y = 73......(ii)    x7

2(7x - 2y) = 2(17)
14x - 4y = 34.....(iii)
7(2x + 7y) = 7(73)
14x + 49y =  511 ....(iv)


14x - 4y = 34..........(iii)
14x + 49y =  511 ....(iv)

We can now eliminate x by (iii) - (iv)
(14x - 4y) - (14x + 49y) = 34 - 511
14x - 4y -14x - 49y  = -477
14x - 14x - 4y - 49y = -477
0x -53y = -477
- 53y = - 477.
y = - 477/-53.   Use your calculator.
y = 9.

Now we can now substitute y = 9 in equation (i)   
7x - 2y = 17,  Recall y = 9
7x - 2(9) = 17
7x - 18 = 17
7x  = 17 + 18
7x = 35
x = 35/7 = 5.

Therefore, x = 5, y = 9.  Cheeeerrs!

At 10:57 A.M. A submarine was at a depth of feet. Its depth then changed at a rate of -8 feet per minute. What was its depth at
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<h3>48 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get the total minutes used by the submarine from  10:57 A.M to  11:03 A.M. The total minutes used within the specified period of time is 6 minutes.

If its depth then changed at a rate of 8 feet per minute, the submarine depth after 6 minutes will be expressed as shown;

8 feet = 1minute

x feet = 6 minutes

cross multiply;

x * 1 = 8 * 6

x = 48 feet

Hence the submarine depth at 11.03AM is 48 feet

19 Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week. So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. Write and s
nevsk [136]
19
If she has already watched 1.5 hours and she can only watch 5 hours per week, then we have the inequality:
1.5 + T ≤ 5
where T is is the number of hours she can watch more before reaching her limit

20
If he needs 100 points, already has 40 and earns 2 for every movie, we have the inequality:
40 + 2m ≥ 100
where m is the number of movies he needs to watch

21
We can have the equation:
x + 1 = x + 2 - 1
This would result to:
x + 1 = x + 1
which have the same terms on both sides.
Further, the equation would be:
0 = 0

A line contains the points (3,9) and (-1,1) what is the equation of the line?
kirza4 [7]
To find the equation of a line using two given set of points, you must first find slope. To do so, we must use the slope formula:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 

In this case:
1 - 9 / -1 - 3 = -8 / -4 
- 8 / -4 = 2 (simplified) 

Now we can use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) 

y - 1 = 2(x + 1 )
y - 1 = 2x + 2
y = 2x + 3

In order to make 3x - y = 6 in slope intercept form, we must isolate y.

- y = -3x + 6
Note: y cannot be negative, so we'll multiply both sides by -1 
( -1 ) - y = - 3x + 6 ( -1 ) = y = 3x -6
