How do you solve this system of equations using the addition method:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
;
5
x
+

x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26
13
x
13
=
−
26
13
x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4
−
8
−
y
=
−
4
y
=
−
8
+
4
y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−
4

y-intercept = 9 → (0, 9)
x-intercept = -7 → (-7, 0)
Look at the picture.
Answer:
1311.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Feet:stories
883:70
x:104
To solve this we need to multiply 883 by 1.48 because this is what we multiplied 70 to get to 104
x=1311.88=1312
Answer:
G x 3 = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
let G be Greg's score
And product means multiplication.
so G x 3 = 48.
finding Greg's score means 3g = 48.
g = 48/3
g = 16.
In one U.S cup, there are 236.588 milliliters. (No such thing as milli"meters" in a cup).
