Answer:

Multiply each equation by the coefficient of y in the other one.  

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)  6x + 5y = 2

(2) 4x + 2y = 8

Multiply each equation by the coefficient of y in the other one.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5.

(3)   12x + 10y =   4

(4) 20 x + 10y = 40     Subtract (3) from (2)

                8x = 36      Solve for x

                  x = 9/2

Answer:

Subtract 5 times the first equation from 2 times the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

2(6x + 5y = 2)

5(4x + 2y = 8)

12x + 10y = 4

20x + 10y = 40

Subtracting the second equation from first gives:

−8x = −36

x =  

−36

−8

x =  

9

otez555 [7]

Answer:

10:7

Step-by-step explanation:

ratios are simply just like fractions!

this ratio (40:28) can be re-written as 40/28

now, you can simplify this to its lowest terms

40/28=20/14=10/7

first in those steps i re wrote the question, then divided by two, then divided by two again !

so, 40:28=10:7

--------------------------------

you can even check this by cross multiplying, since ratios are fractions

\frac{40}{28} =\frac{10}{7}

40x7=28x10

280=280

they are equivalent which means our ratio is correct :)

hope this helped <333
