<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that.
5a + 3b = –9
2a – 5b = –16
5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
Then add the equations
25a + 15b = -45
6a - 15b = -48
=
31a = -93
a = -3
And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>
THe LCD is x(x^2 - 4)
so multiplying through by this we get:-
2x(x + 2) + 7x = 5(x^2 - 4)
2x^2 + 4x + 7x = 5x^2 - 20
3x^2 - 11x - 20 = 0
(3x + 4)(x - 5 ) = 0
so x = 5 , -4/3
Its the second choice
The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
I=prt
p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x
To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.
500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x
x= 20 years
4,500 mass. if you multiply 0.45 and 10,000 you'll get 4,500
