<span>This one is the correct answer----->Multiply the bottom equation by 2 thus eliminating the y variable when the equations are added together.
</span><span>X + 6y = 2 ....top
</span><span>4x - 3y = 10...bottom
if we multiply the bottom equation by 2 .......... => 8x - 6y = 20
if we add it to the top one..........>(8+1)x +(6-6)y = (20+2)
then we solve for x => x = 22/9
then with the top equation, we solve for y == > y = -2/27</span>
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve by:
5x+7=-3x-31
adding 3x to each side:
8x+7=31
Subtract 7 from each side:
8x=24
Divide each side by 8:
x=3
That is your answer
Hope this helps!
We have two overlapped triangles:
x/24=6/x
cross multiply
x²= 144
x=√144= 12 so x = 12
