In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given <u>system of equations</u>:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

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:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$

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

$\implies 2(3x-3y=15) \implies 6x-6y=30$

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

$\begin{array}{l r r}& -12x+6y= &-21\\+ & 6x-6y= & 30\\\cline{1-3}& -6x\phantom{))))))} = & 9\end{array}$

<u>Solve</u> for x:

$\implies -6x=9$

$\implies x=-\dfrac{9}{6}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

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

$\implies 3\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)-3y=15$

$\implies -\dfrac{9}{2}-3y=15$

$\implies -3y=\dfrac{39}{2}$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{39}{2 \cdot 3}$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{13}{2}$

Mei does 6 problems in 18 minutes. How many can she complete in 12 minutes

Dmitriy789 [7]

Do cross multiplication

<u>6</u> = <u>x</u>
18 12

Now cross multiply

(6)(12) = (18)(x)

72 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18

<u>72</u> = <u>18x</u>
18 18

4 = x

So tMei can complete 4 problems in 12 minutes.
