I guess you just subtract the numbers
297-131=
Or there is something am I missing on here
The linear combination method is the same as the elimination method. Let's multiply the second equation by -2 so the x terms cancel each other out. When we do that we get a system of

and

. The x-terms cancel each other out giving us

and y = -3. Now sub -3 into one of the equations to solve for x. x+2(-3)=-4, and x - 6 = -4. x = 2. So the solution for our system is (2, -3)
56° and 34°
complementary angles sum to 90° thus
3x - 10 + 2x - 10 = 90
5x - 20 = 90
add 20 to both sides of the equation
5x = 90 + 20 = 110
divide both sides by 5
x =
= 22
angle 2x - 10 = (2 × 22) - 10 = 44 - 10 = 34° and
angle 3x - 10 = (3 × 22) - 10 = 66 - 10 = 56°
I can sure try mate!!! What is it that you need help with?
Just asking, what book is it?
