Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
count
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominators are 3 and 7 and those are both odd numbers.
You can not get a number lower than 21. Therefore 21 is the LCM (Lowest common denominator.)
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Put a open circle at 1 1/2 then draw a line going to the left of 1 1/2
3 terms
when you combine like terms you are left with 10x + y + 8 which is 3 terms.
