Your answer would be, You can use the Elimination Method, by Multiplying, One or Both Equations by a Constant.



Solve System of Linear Equation:

3x - 6y = -8, -1/4x + 4y = 6 ====> y = 32 /21; x = 8 / 21


Steps:

[ 3x - 6y = -8, -1 / 4x + 4y = 6 ]


Isolate x for 3x - 6y = -8: x = -8 + 6y / 3

3x - 6y = -8

Add 6y both sides:

3x - 6y + 6y = -8 + 6y

Simplify:

3x = - 8 + 6y

Divide Both sides by 3:

3x / x = -8 / 3 + 6y / 3

Simplify:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

x = -8 + 6y / 3

[ 1 / 4 * -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6 ]

Isolate:

-1 / 4 -8 + 6y / 3 + 4y = 6

y = 32 / 21

For x = -8 + 6y / 3

Substitute:

y = 32 / 21

x = -8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

-8 + 6 / 3 * 32 / 21

x = 8 / 21



The Solution to the Systems of Equations are: y = 32 / 21; x = 8 / 21




Hope that helps!!! : )

To create opposite terms for the x-variable, you need to multiply the second equation by a number that will result in the x term becoming –3x. That number would need to be a multiple of the denominator, which is 3. Multiplying the second equation by 9 would create opposite terms for the x-variable.

At 1 pm, there were 16 seagulls on the beach. At 3 pm, there were 40 seagulls. What is the constant rate of change?
beks73 [17]
<span>The answer is (change of amount) / (change of time). For the change of amount, the numerator is 40 seagulls - 16 seagulls, leaving a total of 24 seagulls. For the change of time, the denominator is 3 pm - 1 pm, leaving a total of a 2 hour difference. The answer becomes 24 seagulls / 2 hours, or 12 seagulls per hour when simplified.</span>

Do u know what a rotio table or a in and out box if u do that how I have to solve it and I need to know the rule
SOVA2 [1]
Okay so an in and out box is a box is basically a tale. Do you have a rule ? so if you have a rule..(which i do not know) lets say the rule is +2. lets also say that the IN says 4. Then what would be the out ? The out would be whatever 4+2 is. So basically the "out" is the outcome.
