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<u> 6x+3 y=21</u>
-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.
<u>-6x</u> <u> =</u> <u>-12 </u>
-6 = -6
Cancel the common factor of −6.
Divide x by 1.
<u> −12</u>
x= -6
Divide −12 by −6.
x=2
The solution to the independent system of equations can be represented as a point.
