Here is a model I have made (I'm not a great artist). There are 42 circles in total, placed in 7 columns. Each column has 6 circles. This model represents 42/7 by splitting 42 into 7 parts, which are the columns, and showing that each column has 6 circles, which is the answer to 42/7.
Answer:
x=-2.25,y=-2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system is
We want to solve the system for x and y that makes the system true.
Let us multiply the first equation by 3 while maintaining the second equation:
Subtract the current second equation from the first one.
Divide through by 12:
From the second equation we have:
This implies that:
