Solving systems of elimination

Mathematics

To answer by systems of elimination, you add equations together to eliminate variables if they have the same amount of negative variables in one as the positive variables in another.
For example, in number one.

x - y = 11
2x + y = 19

Both equations contain a variable expressed in the same numbers of negative and positive in each of them, one positive y and negative y. This lets us add the equations together.
x + 2x = 3x
 11 + 19 = 30
3x = 30
x = 10

Now that we know that x = 10, we can plug it into the first equation, x - y = 11 to find y.

x - y = 11
10 - y = 11
y = -1 

For the second one,

4x + 8y = 20
-4x + 2y = 30

Negate the x's since there is the same and opposite amount, while adding the rest of the equations together.

8y + 2y = 10y
20 + 30 = 50
10y = 50
y = 5

Plug it into the initial equation to find x

4x + 8(5) = 20
4x + 40 = 20

Subtract 40 from both sides

4x = -20
x = -5

For the third equation,

-6x + 5y = 1
6x +4y = -10

Negate the x's, add the rest together

5y + 4y = 9y
1 - 10 = -9
9y = -9
y = -1

Plug it into the first equation to find x

-6x + 5y = 1
-6x + 5(-1) = 1
-6x - 5 = 1

Add five to both sides

-6x = 6
Divide both sides by negative 6
x = -1

When the problems do not have the same value of opposite versions of current numbers, for example:

3x + 4y = 6
-6x +g = 6

You can multiply an entire equation to get similar numbers of a variable.
For example, you can multiply the first equation entirely by 2 to get the same number of positive x's to the negative x's in the second one, changing it to 6x x 8y = 12.

Hope I helped.

Use a graphing calculator to find the value of the correlation coefficient r to determine if there is a strong correlation among
OlgaM077 [116]

The value for r = - 0.8535 ,  there is strong correlation between the variables.

<h3>What is a correlation coefficient  ?</h3>

Correlation coefficient describes the relationship between the two variables in the data .

The data given is

(1, 7), (2, 5), (3, -1), (4, 3), (5, -5)

Assuming Linear Regression ,

The data is plotted on the graphing calculator

The value for r = - 0.8535

as the value is in the range of - .85 to -1 , therefore there is strong correlation between the variables.
