B. I hope this help please let me know if it's correct.
Answer: x = 1, y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of linear equations is expressed as
x - 2y = 11- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
- x + 6y = - 31- - - - - - - - - - - -2
We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 2. It becomes
- 2y + 6y = 11 - 31
4y = - 20
Dividing the the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 4, it becomes
4y/4 = - 20/4
y = - 5
Substituting y = - 5 into equation 1, it becomes
x - 2 × - 5 = 11
x + 10 = 11
Subtracting 10 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
x + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10
x = 1
Answer:
x = 5
or
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -8x its coefficient is -8 .
The last term, "the constant", is +15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 15 = 15
Step-2 : Find two factors of 15 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -8 .
-15 + -1 = -16
-5 + -3 = -8
