Answer:

Multiply the second equation by -3 to get -3x - 9y = -30.

Step-by-step explanation:

When eliminating, you need to find a term with the negative of that term to combine so that they cancel each other out. An example would be 3x in the first equation and (-3x) in another equation so that when added, it becomes: 3x-3x = 0.

In the second equation, you see that there is already an x there and you just need to make it become (-3x). Thus, you multiply the entire second equation by -3 to make -3x. Once you have done that, you can combine the two equations and eliminate 3x from the first equation.

3x + 5y = 30

-3x - 9y = -30

3x + 5y -3x - 9y = 30 + (-30)

0 - 4y = 30 - 30

-4y = 0

You can find y and then x later on from here.

Answer:

I'll try my best in explaining the steps.

Considering both signs are greater than and less than sign, its an open circle.

For the first equation, you would have an open circle, basically one that isn't colored in, on 8 on the number line. The arrow would be pointing to the left because the equation is telling us numbers that are less than 8.

For the second equation, you would have an open circle, basically one that isn't colored in, on -1 on the number line. The arrow would be pointing to the right because the equation is telling us numbers that are greater than -1.
