Multiply first equaton by -1 and add to first

-2x+y=7
4x-y=-4 +
2x+0y=3

2x=3
divide 2
x=3/2

sub
2x-y=-7
2(3/2)-y=-7
3-y=-7
minus 3
-y=-10
negative 1 times both sides
y=10

(3/2,10)
(1.5,10)

Draw a model to represent 42/7

ch4aika [34]

Here is a model I have made (I'm not a great artist). There are 42 circles in total, placed in 7 columns. Each column has 6 circles. This model represents 42/7 by splitting 42 into 7 parts, which are the columns, and showing that each column has 6 circles, which is the answer to 42/7.
