Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
since the 2 functions equal each other:
-2x + 3 = 4x - 9
add -2x to both sides
3 = 6x - 9
add 9 to both sides
12 = 6x
divide by 6
2 = x
you have x, now find y, you just need to plug 2 into one of the equations instead of both bc they both equal the same anyway
-2(2) + 3
-4 + 3
-1 = y
Now we'll find x + y, input them and it's 2 + (-1), which is 1
Answer:
Cancellation it enables us to eliminate or get rid of one of the variables, so we can solve a more simplified equation.
Some textbooks refer to the elimination method as the addition method or the method of linear combination.
This is because we are going to combine two equations with addition!
Step 1
First, we align each equation so that like variables are organized into columns.
Step 2
Second, we eliminate a variable.
If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.
If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.
Step 3
Thirdly, we substitute this value back into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable.
Example of how to apply the elimination method for solving systems of equations is attached.
To equal the step 2, we would have to determine that 20 was our new denominator and multiply the first fraction by 5, the second by 4 and the 2 by 20.
multiplied by sides of the equation by 20
