Answer:
Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given <u>system of equations</u>:

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations <u>sum to zero</u>. To do this, the chosen variable must have the <u>same coefficient</u>, but it should be <u>negative</u> in one equation and <u>positive</u> in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is <u>eliminated</u>.
<u>To eliminate the </u><u>variable y</u>:
Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 to make the coefficient of the y variable -6:

Add the two equations together to <u>eliminate y</u>:

<u>Solve</u> for x:


<u>Substitute</u> the found value of x into one of the equations and <u>solve for y</u>:

i don't understand this question but I will say 1/3/4
The answer is 8.45498149331, you can round it to the nearest thousandths place though, too.
Answer:
x+(x+4)=52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's name the smaller number x.
The greater number would then be (x+4).
<em>The sum of two numbers means we are adding them together.</em>
<u>The equation we could then set up would be:</u>
x+(x+4)=52
<em>Now we can solve the equation to find the two numbers if needed.</em>
<u>Here is how:</u>
x+x+4=52
Combine like terms.
2x+4=52
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2x=48
Divide both sides by 2
x=24
The smaller number is 24.
24+4=28
The larger number is 28.
