Solve by elimination:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago

Answer:

B (5, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 4y = 97

9x + 6y = 123

To solve by elimination, we want to <em>eliminate</em> a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.

First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make <em>one</em> of the 9x's <em>negative</em>. To do this, multiply <em>each term</em> in the equation by -1.

-1(9x + 6y = 123)

-9x - 6y = -123

This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

___________

0x -2y = -26

-2y = -26

To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.

y = 13

Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.

9x + 4(13) = 97

Multiply.

9x + 52 = 97

Subtract.

9x = 45

Divide.

x = 5

Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.

-9(5) - 6(13) = -123

-45 - 78 = -123

-123 = -123

Your answer is correct!

(5, 13)

Hope this helps!

klemol [59]

Answer:

the answer is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

first we put the equation together (4x^2+4x+1)by(2x^2+x-2)

so we multiply the formula together  so we (4x^2+4x+1) (2x^2+-2) and that's how you get 34
