Let's explain with an example: 2x - 7y = 11 5x + 7y = 3 To solve this system of equations by elimination we "add" the second equation to the first equation. So basically: 2x + 5x - 7y + 7y = 11 + 3 Which then symplifies to: 7x = 14 and x = 2 Then plug x = 2 into the original equation: 5(2) + 7y = 3 Which leads to: y = -1 So the solution is (2,-1).

Solve the system of equations using the elimination method Enter the answer as an ordered pair 2y equals x plus 2 x - 3y equals -5?
Given: 2y = x + 2 x - 3y = -5 ∴ y = x/2 + 1 ∴ x - 3(x/2 + 1) = -5 ∴ x - 3x/2 - 1 = - 5 ∴ -x/2 = -4 ∴ x = 2 ∴ 2y = 2 + 2 ∴ y = 2 ∴ {x, y} = {2, 2}
9x-6y-12 x 2y0 How do you solve using elimination using multiplication?
9x-6y-(12*2y)=0 9x-6y-24y=0 9x-30y=o 9x=30y 3x=10y y=0.3x x=10/3y
How do you solve this linear system using elimination method 4x-2y equals 6 and -7x plus 2y equals -15?
4x-2y = 6 -7x+2y = -15 Add both equations together in order to eliminate y: -3x = -9 Divide both sides by -3 in order to find the value of x: x = 3 Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y: Solution: x = 3 and y = 3
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations Enter your answer as an ordered pair?
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1
How do you solve a problem using the substitution method?
You solve this by theoretically diverting the hypotenuse of the x divided by the overall beneficial procedure of y
