Answer:
Elimination method
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a choice to eliminate the y or x:
I chose x
So now we double the second equation to make the co efficient of x the same:
6x-5y = -3
6x+4y = 24
Now we subtract both equations to eliminate the x's:
6x-5y = -3
- - -
6x+4y = 24
-9y = -27
y = 3
Now we substitute this value into either equation 1 or 2:
I chose 2
3x + 2(3) =12
Simplify:
3x + 6 =12
Subtract 6 from both sides:
3x + 6 -6 = 12 -6
Simplify:
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3:
3x÷3 = 6÷3
Simplify:
x = 2
The factored version of the above statement would be 5(x + 4)
In order to find this, you need to find the greatest common factor of the two coefficients. First, list the factors of each.
Factors of 5: 1, 5
Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Since the highest that exists in both lists is 5, we can divide both terms by 5 and pull it out of the parenthesis like this:
5(w + 4)
Which is your final answer
67,436,828,104 rounded to the nearest million is 67,437,000,000. To round to the nearest million, you first check to see what is in the hundred-thousands place. If the number in the hundred-thousands place is a number between 0-4, the millions place stays the same. If the number in the hundred-thousands is 5-9, the millions place value goes up one.
(-2, -9)
Simply plug -2 into the equation.
To find his age 4 years ago, you need to subtract 4 from his current age.
His current age is Y, so his age 4 years ago is: y - 4
