Answer: #13 you need to know that the sides are equal. #14 (7,6)
Step-by-step explanation: #14 in picture
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
Answer:
x = -3, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x+3y =3
3y -2x =12
Solve the first equation for x
x = 3-3y
Substitute this into the second equation
3y -2(3-3y) =12
Distribute
3y -6 +6y =12
Combine like terms
9y -6 =12
Add 6 to each side
9y-6+6 =12+6
9y =18
Divide each side by 9
9y/9 =18/9
y = 2
Now find x
x = 3 -3y
x = 3-3(2)
x = 3-6
x = -3

I recommend trying this it is real tutors that explain to you on how to do it it's free
A 2 liter bottle would hold more.
