The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps for Using Linear Combinations Method)

  • Arrange the equations with like terms in columns
  • Analyze the coefficients of x or y
  • Add the equations and solve for the remaining variable
  • Substitute the value into either equation and solve

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

- Multiply equation (2) by 4 to make the coefficients of y are equal in

 magnitude and different in sign

∴ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

Add equations (1) and (3)

∵ 3 x - 8 y = 7 ⇒ (1)

∵ 4 x + 8 y = -28 ⇒ (3)

∴ 7 x = -21

- Divide both sides by 7

∴ x = -3

Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ x + 2 y = -7 ⇒ (2)

∵ x = -3

∴ -3 + 2 y = -7

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ 2 y = -4

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ y = -2

The solution of the system of equations is (-3 , -2)

Write the equation of a circle with center M(2,6) and a radius of 4
ycow [4]

Answer:

(x -2)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is of the form

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x- 2)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 4^2

(x -2)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 16
