The point of elimination is to have one variable so example
3x + 2y = 4
7X + 3y = 5
1) Try to find a way to have one variable
7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28
-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15
2) add
0 + 5y = 13
3) solve for the last variable
5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8
4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one
3x + 2(2.8) = 4
3x + 5.6 = 4
3x = -1.6
x = 0.533333333 (continue)
The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)
Hope you understand!!

<u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u><span><u>To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: </u>
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).
<u>Using the distributive property, we have </u>
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.
<u>Subtract 2x from each side: </u>
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.
<u>Add 32 to each side: </u>
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.
<u>Divide both sides by 6:</u>

x=6.
<u>Extraneous solutions</u> are solutions that come about in the problem but are not valid solutions to the problem; the only values of x that would give this sort of answer are -2 and 4, since these are the two values that would make one of the denominators 0 (we cannot divide by 0).</span></span>
Decimals are not an integer, so that’s making 0.54 not an integer
Answer:
x= 8 y= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you identify your variables:
x= larger number
y= smaller number
Second, you find your equations:
x - y = 7
2x + 3y = 19
Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.
y = x - 7
2x + 3y = 19
Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation
2x + 3(x - 7) = 19
Then, you distribute and simplify.
2x + 3x - 21 = 19
5x - 21 = 19
5x = 40
x = 8
Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,
8 - y = 7
- y = -1
y = 1
Nine and a half times.
***
you can put it fully nine times. You reach 18 like this. But you have 1 more to go until 19! So, just cut the 2 in half to get 1, and put that in!
