Answer:
GCF is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression -9x + 15y
First, we need to find ther individual factors
-9x = -3 *3 * x
15y = 3 * 5 * y
Since 3 is common to both factors
−9x+15y = 3(-3x+5y)
Hence the GCF is 3
The number 2852.1 is already rounded to the tenth since the tenth place is one place to the right of the decimal
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
Answer:
2x + y = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8x + 4y = - 24 ( divide each term by 4 )
2x + y = - 6 ← is an equivalent equation
