You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable.  You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation.  If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2.  If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.

-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6

STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24

STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2

-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out

-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3

y= -5

STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x

x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6

x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides

x= -21

ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

12)
-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19

STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x

-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57

STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x

-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out

19x= 38
divide both sides by 19

x= 2

STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation

-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19

-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides

y= -5

ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5

Hope this helps!  :)

Which of the following appear in the diagram below?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The one you can pick out that is true is D. The others you have to be careful with. C is a line and it has two arrowheads in the symbol above the two letters which makes it correct as well. A is not correctly marked, so it is not there the way it is marked. One would think ZX is a ray the way it is marked.

Answer: C and D

Manny used 8 tenth-size parts to model 8/10. Ana used fewer parts to model an equivalent fraction. How does the size of a part i

It should be bigger, think of a pie:
if you cut it into 2 parts, the pieces are big
if you cut it into 4 parts, the pieces are smaller

in both parts, the AMOUNT OF PIE stays the same, the size changes

here, we cut out 8 / 10 pieces, (manny)
ana has the same WHOLE amount, but in BIGGER pieces because she has an amount less than 8.

It works if you REDUCE THE FRACTION, 8/10 can be REDUCED to 4/5, Ana's pieces should be twice as big as Manny's, but she only has 4
