Well, if you do 99/9 that equals 11, therefor she has gone 11 times.
<span>The biggest number of groups that can be formed is 6, because six is the greatest common factor of 12 and 42. There will be 2 coaches in each group because 6 x 2 = 12 and 7 players in each group because 7 x 6 = 42.</span>
To solve this equation by elimination, what you would do is multiply one of the equations by -1, or distribute -1 to each term in the equation, any of the 2 equations. Then align the equations and add them together.
-(X + 3y = 3)
-X - 3y = -3
-X - 3y = -3
X + 6y = 3
__________
3y = 0
y = 0/3 = 0.
Now we can solve for x, by simply plugging the value of y into any of the 2 equations.
X + 6y = 3
X + 6(0) = 3
X + 0 = 3
X = 3.
The solution to your system of equations would be (3,0).
Check this by plugging in the point to the other equation and see if it is true.
X + 3y = 3
(3) + 3(0) = 3
3 + 0 = 3
3 = 3.
Thus it is the solution.
