To eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied by before ad ding the equations together? First Equation: 5x − 4y = 28 Second equation: 3x - 9y = 30
2 answers:
Answer:
The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
use -9 to multiply the first equation
use -4 to multiply the second equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-4y=28.....eqn (1)×-9
3x-9y=30....eqn(2)×-4
-45x+36y=-252
-(-12x+36y=-120)
therefore, -33x÷33 =-132÷-33
x=4.
substitute (x=4) in any of the equation. I'm just going to use eqn 1.
5x-4y=28
5(4)-4y=28
20-4y=28
-4y =28-20
-4y÷-4 = 8÷-4
y=-2
so, x=4, y=-2
Note: for proof of answers substitute the answers for x and y and see if you have the same result...e.g
5(4)-4(-2)=28.
