-x- y=-4 -2x+y=-5 How do you it for solving eliminating

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 3, y = 1

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination is a method of solving systems where we add or subtract the two equations to "eliminate" one of the variables.

Take a look at our system. We have a -y and a +y. If we added those together, they would cancel!

-x- y=-4

-2x+y=-5   +

--------------

-3x + 0y = -9

It worked! No more y. Solve for x!

-3x = -9

<u>x = 3</u>

Plug x back in to get y.

-x - y = -4

-3 - y = -4

-y = -1

<u>y = 1</u>

Can someone answer this truthfully
juin [17]

Answer:

1- 4x -7 =29, x= 9

2-x/3 - 8 = 12, x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-7 =29

4x= 29 +7

4x= 36

x= 9

x/3 -8 =12

x/3 = 12+ 8

x/3 = 20

x= 20(3)

x= 60

How to subtract a negative fraction from a positive fraction?
ikadub [295]
Let's take an example to illustrate this case:

<span>positive fraction = 2/7
</span>
<span>negative fraction = - 3/5

Now we need to subtract  </span><span>- 3/5 from 2/7

Right?

2/7 - (-3/5) = 2/7 + 3/5

here we need to unify the denominators as follows:

the lowest common factor between 7 and 5 is 35
2/7 = 10/35
3/5 = 21/35

Now back to </span><span>2/7 + 3/5:

</span><span><span>2/7 + 3/5 = 10/35 + 21/35 = (10+21)/35 = 31/35

That's it




Hope that helps you</span>
