How to solve a system of equations using elimination?

Nastasia [14]3 years ago

If  you have a problem like: 
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
 You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2

Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20

You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20

Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12

The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6

So your answers would be
x=2
y=6

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 7x - 2y = 4. 7/2 -2 4/7
Nookie1986 [14]
To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.

Can someone help with this and explain answer please.
photoshop1234 [79]

Because the triangles are similar the ratio of all the sides would be the same. So you need to find the ratio of the common sides and then use that ratio to find the unkown side.

In this picture sides FG = 52, FV would be the same side and is 24.

Dividing 24/52 = 0.461, so the unkown side WV would be 0.444 of it's common side HG.

HG = 39

39 * 0.461= 18.

The answer is C. 18
