Answer:
(- 6, 0 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + 2y = - 18 → (1)
2x + 9y = - 12 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by - 3 and adding will eliminate the term in x, that is
6x + 4y = - 36 → (3)
- 6x - 27y = 36 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x
- 23y = 0
y = 0
Substitute y = 0 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for x
Substituting into (1)
3x + 0 = - 18
3x = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 6
Solution is (- 6, 0 )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.
Therefore, if 
and 
vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of 
and 
.
Let 
and 
as given in the problem. Substitute values:
Hence, the maintained product is 
.
Thus, we have the following equation:
Substitute 
to find the value of 
when :
move the 3 to the 7 side. it will become negative.
9x-5x=7-3
4x=4
x=1
