I think it’s X=-3+(the square root of 2)
This is one of the easiest ways to get the answer
No, because 11.6/2 is 5.8 so 5.8 is half of the tank. if it uses 1.45 per hour and it's used for 3.5 hours there will only be 5.075
So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables.
-6x + 6y = 6
-6x + 3y = -12
The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
-6x + 6y = 6
6x - 3y = 12
Now you add the eqautions.
3y = 18
Divde 3 from both sides.
y = 6
Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one.
-6x + 6(6) = 6
-6x + 36 = 6
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-6x = -30
Divide -6 from both sides.
x = 5
So your solution is (5, 6).
I hope this helps love! :)
Answer: (11, -1, -17)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+y=3
4(-2)+y=3
-8+y=3
y=3+8
y=11
4x+y=3
4.1+y=3
4+y=3
y=3-4
y=-1
4x+y=3
4.5+y=3
20+y=3
y=3-20
y= -17
