You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable. You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation. If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2. If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.

-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6
STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24
STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2
-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out
-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3
y= -5
STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x
x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6
x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides
x= -21
ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

12)
-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19
STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x
-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57
STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x
-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out
19x= 38
divide both sides by 19
x= 2
STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation
-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19
-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides
y= -5
ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

20000*0.45 = 9000 in the bond
20000*0.15 = 3000 in the CD
20000*0.20 = 4000 in stocks
20000*0.029 = 580 in savings
A=9000(1 + 4.35%)^3 = 10,226.33
A=3000(1 + 2.90%)^3 = 3,268.64
A=4000 (1 + 8%) x (1 - 4%) x (1 + 6%) = 4,396.03
A=580(1 + 4.35%)^3 = 4,545.04
Total value = 22,436.04
Gain = 22,436.04 - 20,000 = 2,436.04

Answer:
You aren't supposed to add 3k
Step-by-step explanation:
3k is a positve number. So instead of adding you have to subtract to be able to move on. Correct way shown below. Once you get this step wrong your answer will also be wrong. At the end you also need to divide
19-2k= 3k-1
-3k -3k
19-5k= -1
-19 -19
-5k= -20
-5/-5= -20/-5
k=4
