Using elimination, we add the equations, but this time from left to right. This process wants to elimination a variable. So 2x plus -2x equals 0. Moving on the next variable, 6y plus -y is 5y. On to the last variable, 18 plus 12 is 30. So we have this equation, 5y=30. 30/5 is 6, so y=6. We plug 6 into y in one of the equations you choose. In this case, I'm going to use the first equation. Plugging 6, we have this equation, 2x plus 36 is 18. 18-36 is -18. We then have this equation, 2x=-18. We know -9 times 2 is -18, so our x value is -9, So, our y=6, and our x=-9.
Answer:
He does not divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Nicholas divides 20 by 5 and 30 by 6. He ought to have divided 30 by 5 as well and then simplified.
P.S. Nicholas should have just divided both 20 and 30 by 10 to simplify in one step
When a figure is dilated, this means the corresponding sides of the shape is enlarged in a uniform multiple. In this case, the ratio of the sides remains the same. Thus, when ratio of the sides remain the same, the corresponding angles are also congruent in the dilated figure. The answer here is B. similar
you divied the 10.30 by 10 and get 1.03
