Answer:

x=10

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)add the equations and find what x is.

x-y=8

+x+y=12

—————

2x=20

— —

2 2

x=10

3)fill in x for the second equation.

x+y=12

since x=10,replace x with 10.

10+y=12.

subtract 19 from both sides.

10+y=12

-10 -10

—————-

y=2

Given the following system, what variable will eliminate?

vivado [14]

I think the answer is Neither x nor y will eliminate because, by looking at the two equations we can add them and y will be elminated and we will have x-value but we can substitute the x value into one of the equation and obtain y value again.Hope this will help.Sorry If I was wrong .

WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE LINE PASSING THROUGH THE POINTS (-2, -7) AND (3, 5)?????? PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY!!

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5) is m = (12/5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two pints are given as A(-2, -7) and B(3,5)

Slope of a line with points (a,b) and (c,d) is given as

$m =( \frac{d -b}{c-a} )$

So, here the slope of line AB is

$m =( \frac{5 - (-7)}{3 - (-2)} ) = \frac{5+ 7}{3 +2} = \frac{12}{5}$

or, m = 12/5

Hence, the slope of the line with points A(-2, -7) and B(3,5) is (12/5).
