Answer:

Solve for x in the first equation. ⇒ the first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to solve the system of the equation using

 the substitution method

- The first equation is ax + by = c

- The second equation is dx + ey = f

* To chose the first step

- Solve for x or y depends on the integer answer

EX: ax = c - by ⇒ x = c/a - (b/a)y

      b/a = integer , c/a = integer ⇒ best choice

- If not solve for next variable

EX: by = c - ax ⇒ y = c/b - (a/b)y

      a/b = integer , c/b = integer ⇒ best choice

- If not repeat with the second equation to find the best choice

* Lets check our equations:

∵ -9x + 4y = 10 ⇒ (1)

∵ -9x + 3y = 3 ⇒ (2)

* If we start with the first equation and solve for x

∵ -9x = 10 - 4y ⇒ (2)

- It will be difficult if we divide by -9, but the second equation

 has -9x, so we will solve of -9x not for x and substitute the value

 of -9x in the second equation

* Substitute (3) in (2)

∴ 10 - 4y + 3y = 3 ⇒ collect the like terms

∴ -y = -7 ⇒ y = 7

substitute the value of in (3)

∴ -9x = 10 - 4(7) ⇒ -9x = -18 ⇒ ÷ -9 in both sides

∴ x = 3

∴ The best choice to avoid fraction is:

  Solve for x in the first equation.

aniked [119]

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line has all the same y values, but changing x values

y must equal -3 all the time if it goes through (3,-3)

Find the values of X and Y that makes these triangles congruent by the HL theorem
muminat

Answer:

C. x = 3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.

Thus:

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse

Also,

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs

✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.

x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)

(y + 1) + 3 = 3y

y + 1 + 3 = 3y

y + 4 = 3y

y + 4 - y = 3y - y

4 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2

4/2 = 2y/2

2 = y

y = 2

✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.

x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)

x = 2 + 1

x = 3
