Question

Use the elimination method to solve the ststem of equations.choose the correct ordered pair 10x+2y=22 3x-4y=-21

Answer 1

Answer: the ordered pair is (1, 6)

Explanation:

Ordered pair (1, 6)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1 and y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+2y=22

3x-4y=-21

First at all, you have to multiply both sides of this equation of 10x+2y=22, like this,

2(10x+2y)=2*22

*Put the 2 for the both sides.

Then, expand them.

20x+4y=44

When we have 20x+4y=44, we can eliminate with another equation.

20x+4y=44

3x-4y=-21

So, the first equation has +4y and the second equation has -4y, so we can use elimination method to eliminate one variable.

This time we can sum these equation to get one variable to get the answer easily. Like this...

20x+4y=44

3x-4y=-21

to become...

23x=23

x=23/23

x=1

When we get the equation like this, we can divide 23 by 23, so we can get the value of x. So, the value of x is 1.

When we know x is equal to 1, we can do the last part substitute x=1 into the second equation which is 3x-4y=-21.

The following steps is like this:

Substitute x=1 into 3x-4y=-21,

3(1)-4y= -21

3-4y= -21

Move the 3 to the another side, like this;

-4y= -21-3

-4y= -24

y= -24/ -4

y=6

*Be careful! When you calculate -24/-4 , you have to know how to eliminate the negative sign. (-) / (-) = +

Negative number divided by negative number is equal to positive number.

So, here we go! the value of x is 1 and the value of y is 6.

That is my solution and explanation from me. I hope you can understand. Bye!
