So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables.
-6x + 6y = 6
-6x + 3y = -12
The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
-6x + 6y = 6
6x - 3y = 12
Now you add the eqautions.
3y = 18
Divde 3 from both sides.
y = 6
Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one.
-6x + 6(6) = 6
-6x + 36 = 6
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-6x = -30
Divide -6 from both sides.
x = 5
So your solution is (5, 6).
I hope this helps love! :)
Given:
The given sets are:
Set a : 200, 104, 100, 160.
Set b: 270, 400, 483, 300, x.
Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
Formula for mean:
The mean of set of a is:
The mean of set of b is:
It is given that,
Mean of set a: mean of set b= 3:8
Isolate the variable x.
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the value of x is 427.
