It is convenient to add 3 times the first equation to the second. This will eliminate x.

In general, you want to find some multiple of one equation that you can combine with some multiple of the other to cause one of the variable coefficients to become zero. Here, we see that x is by itself in one equation, so it is convenient to multiply that by a suitable factor to cancel the x-term in the other equation. The x-coefficient in the second equation is -3, so when we multiply the first equation by +3 and add the result to the second equation, we get +3x-3x = 0x in the result.

3(x +5y) +(3y -3x) = 3(17) + (21)

... 18y = 72 . . . . . . collect terms

... y = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 18

Substitute into the first equation:

... x + 5·4 = 17

... x = -3 . . . . . . . . subtract 20

The solution is (x, y) = (-3, 4).

_____

Here, we note the second equation has terms that all have a factor of 3 that can be removed. That is, the second equation can be rewritten as

... y - x = 7

Now, we can add this directly to the first equation to eliminate the x terms.

... (y -x) +(x +5y) = 7 + 17

... 6y = 24 . . simplify

... y = 4 . . . . same as above

We could also subtract 5 times the new second equation from the first to eliminate y.

... (x +5y) -5(y -x) = (17) -5(7)

... 6x = -18 . . . . . . simplify

.... x = -3 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

dusya [7]
Equation of a line:
y=mx+c

m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
m= \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)

You have:
y=\textunderscore\textunderscore \ x + \textunderscore
so you are missing the m and the c.

To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12, <u>7</u>) and (0, <u>1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>12</u>, 7) and (<u>0</u>, 1)- This gives:

m= \frac{7-1}{12-0}
m= \frac{6}{12}
m=0.5

To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:

c=1

When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:

y=0.5x+1
