For example I have these two equations: A: 3x - 2y = 50 B: x - 2y = 30 If I take A - B, align the equations' terms so the like terms are in one column: 3x - 2y = 50 x - 2y = 30 _________ , So I got (3x -x)= 2x; (-2y - -y) or (-2y + 2y) = 0 ; (50-30) = 20. 2x = 20 => x = 20/2 = 10

How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
What are 3 types of equations?
There are actually 4 multiply divide plus minus
What are standard operators for equations that Excel uses?
+ (plus) - (minus) / (divide) * (multiply) ^ (power) = (equals)
Can linear equations have minus signs instead of plus signs?
Yes, and it would be a negative slope.
3y equal minus 4x minus 16 and 8y equal 6x plus 13 what best describes the graphs of the equations shown below?
The lines are perpendicular.
Do the equations x equals 4y plus 1 and x eqauls 4y minus 1 have the same solution?
No.
What is the solution of the system of equations x 5y10 and 3x y1?
Without knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms and without any equality signs it can't be considered as a system of equations.
Does infinity minus infinity equal zero?
you would think it be would but infinity is not a number but a theory so not being a number is can not be used with equations symbols like plus, minus, times etc.
What are the order pairs to equation x minus 2x equals negative 4 and equation 2x minus y equals 1?
x = 4 and y = 7 which will satisfy both equations
Is there a formula for solving quadratic equations?
x is equal to negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times "a" times "c" all over 2 times "a"
Why are the equations w minus x plus x equals w and w plus x minus x equals w called Identities?
They are identities because they are true for ALL values of w and x.
