Solve the following system using elimination:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{2 y - x = 21 | (equation 2)
Add 1/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(16 y)/7 = 128/7 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 7/16:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5, y = 8
1:3, Because you can simplify the numbers by dividing by two.
<span>I believe that the answer would be -0.35416666666</span>
I'll go with A and B
Hope this helps
