For graphing you would have to make sure your number line up with the y axis and the x axis
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 = 0.375
5/8 = 0.625
4.375 - 1.625
= 2.75
Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you.
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be
(3,-2)
A contradiction is:always true never false hope this helps
