Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
Omg I’m stuck on a question like that and I made another account and posted it there and nobody is answer me
Answer: 8^3, Eight to the third power, Eight times eight times eight.
<h3>Given</h3>
Three numbers are n, 8n, and (100+n).
Their total is 690.
<h3>Find</h3>
the three numbers
<h3>Solution</h3>
n + 8n + (n+100) = 690
10n + 100 = 690 . . . . . . . simplify
10n = 590 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 100
n = 59
8n = 472
n +100 = 159
The three numbers are 59, 472, and 159.
Yes his equations are correct
