Well if finding X you get 4,-7 when you simplify the whole equation you get that as well.
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
The answer is 154 feet. just took the quiz. sorry this is later.
−2x + 3y + 5z = −21
−4z = 20
6x − 3y = 0
do -4z=20 first
divide both sides by -4 to get z by itself
-4z/-4=20/-4
z=-5
Use z=-5 into −2x + 3y + 5z = −21
-2x+3y+5(-5)=-21
-2x+3y-25=-21
move -25 to the other side
sign changes from -25 to +25
-2x+3y-25+25=-21+25
-2x+3y=4
6x-3y=0
find x by eliminating y
Add the equations together
-2x+6x+3y+(-3y)=4+0
-2x+6x+3y-3y=4
4x=4
Divide by 4 for both sides
4x/4=4/4
x=1
Use x=1 into 6x − 3y = 0
6(1)-3y=0
6-3y=0
Move 6 to the other side
6-6-3y=0-6
-3y=-6
Divide both sides by -3
-3y/-3=-6/-3
y=2
