Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)
I gotchu !! just give me a moment to write it out
Its b= -0.2 or b= 1/-5 whichever one works best
25, because a cube that is 10x10 would have an area of 100. and the cubes that are 2x2 would have an area of 4. so you take 100 and divide it by 4. answer is 25.
