Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations?

mariarad [96]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations. </em>

<em>Multiply the top equation by-3. then add the equations </em>

<em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation

2x- 6y=6  ... 1

6x - 4y = 2 ... 2

To eliminate a variable, we have to make the coefficient of one of the variable to be the same.

Multiply equastion 1 by -3

-6x+18y= -18  

6x - 4y = 2

Add the result:

-6x + 6x + 18y-4y = -18+2

18y-4y = -18+2

14y = -18

y = -9/7

Another way is to Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations.

Multiplying equation 2 by -3/2 will give;

6x(-3/2) - 4y(-3/2) = 2(-3/2)

-9x + 6y = -3

Add to equation 1;

2x- 6y=6

-9x + 2x + 0 = -3+6

-7x = 3

x = -3/7

Hence the correct two options are;

<em>Multiply the bottom equation by -3/2 then add the equations. </em>

<em>Multiply the top equation by-3. then add the equations </em>

<em> </em>

<em></em>

What is the simplified form of the expression k^3(k7/5)^-5
saveliy_v [14]
The expression can be simplified as:

k^3(k7/5)^-5
= k^(3+-5) * (7/5)^-5
(Collecting the powers of k at one side and the constants at other side)
= k^-2 * (5/7)^5
(Solving thr integer powers)
= k^-2 * (3125/16807)

f(x) = 3/4 * x - 7 . Find x if f(x) = - 1 . PLEASE tell how to solve it bc that what i dont know, i dont want just the answer​
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

x=-8 if f(x)=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given --> f(x)=-\frac{3}{4}x-7

Substitute f(x)=-1 into the equation and solve for x:

-1=-\frac{3}{4}x-7

6=-\frac{3}{4}x

24=-3x

-8=x

So, when f(x)=-1,x=-8

Question 1 of 5
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The simplified fractional equivalent is \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A <u><em>terminating decimal</em></u> is a decimal that ends. So, it's a decimal with a finite number of digits.

we have

0.25

Let

x=0.25

Multiply by 100 both sides

100x=25

Divide by 100 both sides

x=\frac{25}{100}

Simplify

Divide by 25 both numerator and denominator

x=\frac{1}{4}
