Uhmmmm is there a picture of the problem i’m confused
Equation 1) x + 6y = 2
Equation 2) 5x + 4y = 36
Multiply all of equation 1 by 5.
1) 5(x + 6y = 2)
Simplify.
1) 5x + 30y = 10
2) 5x + 4y = 36
Subtract equations from one another.
26y = -26
Divide both sides by 26.
y = -1
Plug in -1 for y in the first equation.
x + 6y = 2
x + 6(-1) = 2
Simplify.
x - 6 = 2
Add 6 to both sides.
x = 8
D : (8, -1)
~Hope I helped!~
Answer:
To be precise, I think it's a pattern question, where you have to add 4 to each number. I'm not very sure though.
Let x equal a number
3x + 5 = 26
3x = 21
x = 7
the number is 7!
