Answer: x = 4 and y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = -4
2x = -4 - 4y
x = -2 - 2y
Now that we have solved the first equation for x, we plug (-2 - 2y) into the other equation in place of x and then solve for y.
3(-2 -2y) + 5y = -3
-6 - 6y + 5y = -3
-y = 3
y = -3
Now that we know y, we plug it into the original equation and solve for x.
2x + 4(-3) = -4
2x + -12 = -4
2x = 8
x = 4
You can check the answer by plugging both x and y into either of the original equations.
The answer is B.33, this is because the numbers are increasing by 2's. (+2,+4+,+6, ect.)
Answer:
x = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x - 13 = 51
-4x = 51 + 13
-4x = 64
x = -16
Answer:
Tyler's - (-5 - 3y) + (3y) = -5
Han's - (x) + (-5 - x) = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are going to use Tyler's first step then we would use x = - 5 - 3y and substitute it in the original simultaneous equation x + 3y = -5, becoming (-5 - 3y) + (3y) = - 5 giving an exact answer of - 5.
But if we are using Han's first step then we will still substitute into the original simultaneous equation but in 3y. It would become
x + (-5 - x) = - 5 which also gives us an exact answer of -5.
Thus proving that both first steps show the same solution of -5.
