Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you.
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be
(3,-2)
First you must add the same numbers together, for instance, you wouldn't add 4y with 4 you have to add it with another number that is just like it, for instance 4y and 9y they are the same, so you can add them. So let's get to the problem now:
5y(2y-3)=(2y-3)
5y*2y=10y
(10y-3)=(2y-3)
You can do nothing to the other side because there are no numbers, that are the same.
The domain is talking about the "range" of the horizontal axis therefore you will be focusing on the x-intercepts.
The answer will be All non-negative real numbers less than or equal to 18
because the x-intercepts lies at 0 and 18. The answer makes sense because the furthest you can go is 18 ft and the closest you could go is 0 ft. The "all non-negative real numbers" puts a restriction on the least distance it could travel so that means that it stops at 0 ft because if you go any further, you will end up in the negatives and it clearly states "non-negative".
