Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
Answer: Solution: (12, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 4y = 12
3x + 4y = 48
Add both equations
5x = 60
Divide both sides by 5
x = 12
We can use the value of x to find y
3x + 4y = 48
3 (12) + 4y = 48
36 + 4y = 48
Subtract 36 from both sides
4y = 12
Divide both sides by 4
y = 3
Solution: (12, 3)
When you're counting inclusively, you subtract the numbers and add one. Here, it's 89-52+1=38 numbers.
