Hi there!
In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).
In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :
4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16
2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32
Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").
In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :
8y = 16
Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :
8y = 16
Divide each side of the equation by 8
y = 2 → Your answer
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
The area of the table is 3.75 feet
The boxes are .83333 feet by .83333 feet so that area is .69
.69x3 is 2.07 so yes they will fit on top of the table
It would be 8×8×8, you just add the multiplication sign
Since p varies directly with l,
p = kl (1)
Also, since w varies directly with l,
w = ml
or, l = w/m
Substitute in (1), we get,
p = k (w/m)
= (k/m) w
So, the price varies directly with weight.
Answer:
bradley is 50 and madison is 23
Step-by-step explanation:
m + 27 = b
(b - 7) + (m - 7) = 59
[(m + 27) - 7] + (m - 7) = 59
m + 20 + m -7 = 59
2m + 13 = 59
2m = 46
m = 23, b = 23 + 27 = 50
