Multiply 4x-y=5 by 3 (everything so it would be 12x -3y =15.
multiply 3x +y = 16 by 4 (12x- 4y = 64)
set it up like an elimination problem
12x -3y =15
-12x-4y =64
----------------
1x = -49
x= -49

plug x back into the original equation----->
4(-49) -y =5
-169 -y = 5
+169. +169
x = 174

Answer is (174, -49)

Since one equation has a positive y and the other a negative value, the simplest way is to add together the two equation to cancel out y first...

(4x-y=5)+(3x+y=16)

7x=21  now divide both sides by 7

x=3, and use either original equation to solve for y...

3(3)+y=16

9+y=16

y=7

So the solution is the point (3,7)

How many baseballs equal one pineapple?
Zigmanuir [339]

Let a be an apple, b be a baseball, p be a pineapple and s be a shoe.

Then, from the balance, we model these equations:

p + b = s     ----- (1)

2s = 4a

Divide both sides by 2.

s = 2a

Substitute in (1), we get,

p + b = 2a   ----- (2)

Also,

p = a + b   -----  (3)

Substitute the above in (2), we get,

(a + b) + b = 2a

a + 2b = 2a

Subtract a from both sides.

a = 2b

Substitute in (3), we get,

p = 2b + b = 3b

Hence, 3 baseballs equal one pineapple.
