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.

Nostrana [21]

Hello!

P = 2,1cm + 2,1cm + 1cm + 3,3cm + 1cm => P = 4,2cm + 1cm + 3,3cm + 1cm => P = 5,2cm + 3,3cm + 1cm => P = 8,5cm + 1cm => P = 9,5cm

Answer: D. 9,5cm

Good luck! :)

Solve the equation. <br> 4 (6 – x) + 4 = 2 (3x + 1) - 6
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

x = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify.

24 - 4x + 4 = 6x + 2 - 6

Combine like terms (24 + 4 = 28, sorry for the confusion!)

28 - 4x = 6x - 4

Add x and add 4 to both sides.

10x = 32

x = 3.2
