Answer:

( −2)⋅( 3x +2y )= (−2)(12)(-2)⋅(3x+2y)= (-2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of x opposite.

Simplify ( -2) ⋅(3x+2y)(-2)⋅(3x+2y)

Apply the distributive property.

−2(3x) − 2 (2y)=(−2) (12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply 3 by -2.

−6x − 2(2y)= (2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply 2 by -2

−6x −4y = (−2)(12)

6x+3y=21

Multiply -2 by 12

−6x−4 y=−24

X 6x+3 y=21

-y = -3

Multiply each term in -y = -3 by -1.

(-y) ⋅ -1 = (-3) ⋅ -1

Multiply -1 by -1

1y = (-3) ⋅ -1

Multiply y by 1

y= (-3) ⋅ - 1

Multiply -3 by -1

y= 3

Substitute the value found for y into one of the original equations, then solve for x.

−6x −4⋅3=−24

Multiply −4 by 3.

−6x−12=−24

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

−6x = −24+12

Add −24 and 12.

−6x=−12

Divide each term by −6 and simplify.

Divide each term in −6x = −12 by −6.

-6x = -12

-6 = -6

Cancel the common factor of −6.

Divide x by 1.

−12

x= -6

Divide −12 by −6.

x=2

The solution to the independent system of equations can be represented as a point.

Answer:

A) 3x + 2y = 12

B) 6x + 3y = 21

We multiply A) by -2

A) -6x -4y = -24 then we add B)

B) 6x + 3y = 21

-y = -3

y = 3

Since y = 3 then

x = 2

(08.03) Consider the following pair of equations:

Luba_88 [7]

Substitution method is used to solve the linear system of equations for one or more variables.

Consider the first equation y = 3x + 3 -----(1)

In equation (1) plug in y=x-1, we get

x -1 = 3x + 3

Add -3x on both side , we get

x-3x -1 = 3x-3x +3

-2x-1=0 + 3

Now add +1 on both sides, we get

-2x-1+1= 3+1

-2x + 0 =4

Now divide both side by -2

-2x/-2= 4/-2

X= -2

Now put x=-2 in the the second equation,

y=x-1

y=(-2)-1

y=-3

Solution(-2,-3)

Andre is preparing for the school play and needs to paint the cardboard castle backdrop that measures 16 1/3 feet by 6 feet.

Anvisha [2.4K]

1. To find how much cardboard he needs to paint you need to find the area of the cardboard which is length times width. So in this case, it would be 16 1/3 feet times 6 feet. Or 49/3 times 6/1. This gives you 294/3 or 98 feet.
2. To find this you would divide the total area by how much area each bottle covers to find how many bottles you need. 98 divided by 30 is 98/30 which reduces to 49/15 or 3 4/15. Since you can’t have 4/15 of a bottle, you’d round up to 5 bottles of paint.
