Pick 2 pairs of equations t<span>hen use addition and subtraction to eliminate </span>the same variable<span> from both pairs of equations then it is left with 2 variables
</span>Pick two pairs
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span><span>2x + y + 3z = 0
</span></span>eliminate the same variable from each system
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>-4x - 2y - 6z = 0</span>
<span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>-2x + 4y - 10z = 34</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34
</span></span>Solve the system of the two new equations:
<span><span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34</span>

which is , <span>z = - 2</span>
<span>-5y - 5(- 2) = - 10</span>
<span>-5y = - 20</span>
wich is , <span>y = 4
</span></span>substitute into one of the original equations
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>- x + 2(4) - 5(- 2) = 17</span>

<span>- x = - 1</span>
<span>x = 1</span>
<span>which is , </span><span>(x, y, z) = (1, 4, - 2)</span><span>

Hi there!

The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:
OL/UR = NM/TS
9/3 = 6/2
3 = 3
Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:
RS = 4, LM = y
3RS = LM
3 · 4 = y = 12.
Find x using the same method:
3UT = ON
3(2x+1) = 4x + 9
6x + 3 = 4x + 9
2x = 6
x = 3.
Answer:
3y = -6x - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To put 6x + 3y = -15 into Slope Intercept Form you need to know the formula (y = mx + b) so we know we need to get y on its own side so we can -6x from both side giving us 3y = -6x +-15 or 3y = -6x - 15 There are many different slope intercept forms for this equation depending on how you get y by its self!
Yes, because you can multiply $3 by 3 to get $9 and 6 muffins by 3 to get 9 muffins.
