Here you have to find which each variable is, for this you start of picking one equation,
x + 2y + 6z = 4
-3x + 2y - 2 = -4
4x + 2z = 16
depending the equation you pick you multiply that by a certain number that will give you the opposite of one of the other equations,
-1(x + 2y + 6z = 4)
= -x -2y - 6z = -4
With this you add or subtract it with the equation that has the same number or variable, or both,
In this case it will be the equation,
-3x + 2y + 6z = 4
You can use this one or the third equation since both have a positive 2y which will cancel with -2y from the new equation,
-x - 2y - 6z = -4
-3x + 2y -z = -4
= -4x -7z = -8
Now you since you just eliminated the variable (y) you now have 2 variables, and the last equation has only 2 variables, meaning now you find the answer to those to equations,
-4x -7z = -8
4x + 2z = 16
= -5z = 8
Now leave the variable by itself,
z = 8/5
Now you found the variable (z), with this just substitute on one of the equations we used to find (z) so you can find (x), after that substitute those answered to on of the original equations so you can find (y)
Answer:
Laura and Rob are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
39/50
1) Rob said he could divide the numerator by the denominator
so
using a calculator
39/50=0.78
Rob is correct
2) Laura said she could write an equivalent fraction with 100 as the denominator to converted into a decimal
so
Multiply by 2/2
(39/50)*(2/2)=78/100=0.78
Laura is correct
therefore
Laura and Rob are correct
6 miles = 1in
9 miles = 1 1/2in
12 miles = 2in
and it goes on, hope this helps!
The correct answer is B. -2x-6
Expressed as a fraction 56 is 56/35 of 35. That fraction can be reduced, and expressed several ways.
56/35 = 8/5 = 1 3/5 = 1.6
56 is 1 3/5 of 35
56 is 1.6 times 35
