Hi there!

In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).

In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :

4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16

2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32


Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").

In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :

8y = 16


Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :

8y = 16

Divide each side of the equation by 8

y = 2 → Your answer


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

There is a rectangular prism that can fit 28 cubes with edge lengths of 1/2 inch each. What is the volume of this rectangular pr
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3.5 inch^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cube: V = s^2,

where V = volume, and s = length of side or edge.

The volume of the prism is the same as the volume of 28 cubes with edge length of 1/2 inch. To find the volume of the prism, find the volume of one cube and multiply by 28.

volume of prism = 28 * volume of cube

volume of prism = 28 * (1/2 inch)^3

volume of prism = 28 * 1/8 inch^3

volume of prism = 3.5 inch^3

The function f(x) = 15(2)^x represents the growth of a frog population every year in a remote swamp. Elizabeth wants to manipula
weeeeeb [17]
Half one is 1/2;
half three is 3/2;
Thus, if f(x) represents annual growth, f(x)/2 shows it every half-year, like this:
\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15\cdot 2^x}{2} \\  \\ 
\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15}{2}\cdot 2^x

Written in plain text: f(x)=15/2*2^x
