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.
Answer:
= £135
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = 100%
Percentage increase = 20%
New price = 100% + 20% = 120%
If 120% = £162
What about 100% = ?
= (100 x 162) ÷ 120
= 16200 ÷ 120
= £135
Direct variation is y=kx where k is a constant
the fiest way to see if it is direct or not, is if x increases, then y increases as well,
then we see if y=kx is valid, basically if we have a constant of variation
the first one x increase and y increase
see if same constant
y=kx
-4.5=-3k
1.5=k
so
see next one
-1 and 3
-3=-1(k)
-3=-1(1.5)
-3=-1.5
false
not it
2nd is increase and y decrease, so not direct variation
3rd is x is same but y increase so nope
4th is x increase and y increase, now test the constant
-7.5=-3k
2.5=k
-1 and -2.5
-2.5=-1k
-2.5=-1(2.5)
-2.5=-2.5
true
answer is last option
