Does anyone know how to solve a system of linear equations using elimination? I am having a hard time on how to do it for differ

ent types of equations.

1. Multiply each equation so they end up with the same coefficient

2. Subtract your second equation from the first

3. Solve for one of the variables (I tend to solve an equation that only contains 2 variables if possible. So it would be if you have one question with x and y, solve for the easier one)

4. Substitute the variable you found in the least step into one of the other equations and find a second variable.

5. Substitute both variables you found into the last equation and there you should be left with x, y, and z :))

I hope this helped sksjsk if it didn’t I could write it out to hopefully help more :)

Explain why applying a vertical translation and then a horizontal translation produces the same result as applying a horizonatal

Because it wouldn't matter which direction you go in first. For example would it matter if you took two steps left then three forward or if you took three forward and then two left. It wouldn't because you would end up in the exact same place.

If 3x-3+2x-8 what does x equal
My name is Ann [436]
3x + 2x = 5x
-3 - 8 = -11

5x - 11 = 0
5x - 11 (+11) = 0 (+11)
5x = 11
5x/5 = 11/5

x = 11/5

hope this helps

True or False
Alja [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1)

for x = 2, y = 1

-8x³y⁴/7 = -64/7

-8×2³×1⁴/7 = -8×8×1/7 = -64/7

true

Q2)

x/4 + x/6 - x/2 = 3/4

is x = -9 ?

bringing everything to 1/12 ...

3x/12 + 2x/12 - 6x/12 = 3×3/12

-x/12 = 9/12

-x = 9

x = -9

true

Q3)

can

1 - 2ab - (a² + b²) = 1 - 2ab - a² - b² be factored as

(1 + a - b)(1 + a + b)

let's multiply

(1 + a - b)(1 + a + b) =

= 1 + a + b + a + a² + ab - b - ab - b² =

= 1 + 2a + a² - b²

this is NOT the same as

1 - 2ab - a² - b²

false

Q4)

The horizontal distance of a point from the y-axis is called abscissa or x coordinate of the point.

3 is the y coordinate of (2, 3) and not the x coordinate.

false

Q5)

(7, 9) and (9, 7)

the x coordinates are different, and the y coordinate are different. so, they are definitely NOT the same point.

this would be like saying 5 hours and 3 minutes is the same as 3 hours and 5 minutes.

false

Q6)

now, this is tricky. there are 4 perfect cubes between 1 and 100 :

1×1×1 = 1

2×2×2 = 8

3×3×3 = 27

4×4×4 = 64

did your teacher mean "exactly 3 perfect cubes" ? because, since there are 4, there are also 3, of course (and 2, and 1).

and did "between 1 and 100" mean including the numbers 1 and 100, or excluding the numbers 1 and 100 ?

so, if excluding 1 and 100, then it is true.

if including 1 and 100 and asking for exactly 3, then it is false.

if including 1 and 100 and truly only asking for 3, then it is true.

Q7)

12³ = 12×12×12 = 144×12 = 1728

true

Q8)

(a+1)(a-1)(a²+1) = (a⁴ -1) ?

let's multiply

(a² + a - a - 1)(a² + 1) = (a²-1)(a²+1) = a⁴ - a² + a² - 1 = a⁴-1

true

Q9)

the areas of the 2 squares are

25a² and 25b²

the sum is

25a² + 25b² = 25(a² + b²)

but

25(a+b)(a-b) = 25(a² - b²)

this is NOT the same.

false

Q10)

abc + bca + cba

a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term.

but the given expression has 3 terms.

false
