Try plugging in 4,6, and -7 into the x's
Answer:
if it is multiple choice:
x=2
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(5, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)
3x - y = 19 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
9x - 3y = 57 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2(5) + 3y = - 2
10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (5, - 4 )
You need to get a common denominator. 3/4= 9/12 because 3x4=12 and 3x3=9. you must do the same thing to both sides. 1/3=4/12 because 3x4=12 and 1x4=4.
2/6=4/12 because 6x2=12 and 2x2=4. 9/12+4/12+4/12=17/12, or 1 5/12. You keep the denominator and add the numerators.
