solve by the eliminatin method 7r-9s=-1 9r+7s=73 the solution is
multiply first equation by -9 & second - by 7; add together... let me know if there is a problem
could you show me i do not know how to work this
multiply first equation by -9 & second - by 7: -63r+81s=9 63r+49s=511 add together... should "eliminate" s, right...?
will eliminate r (not s!)
what did you got for s?
after adding 2 equations together you should be left with: 130s=520 s=520/130 s=....?
Is th answer 4
good! now find r, please to do that, put value of s in ANY original equations above. Try it, please
confused now so that was not the end of the equation
in original equations you have 2 variables. we found s, now - need to find r
because s=4, then by using original: 7r-9s=-1 we will have: 7r-9*4=-1 7r-36=-1 can you solve it for r?
29
7r=36-1 7r=35 r=35/7 r=5
so, you got answer: r=5 and s=4 Good Luck!
so the solution is an ordered pair of (5,4) correct
right
thanks you inik you broke it down very simple for me to understand I have not had math in over 35years thank you for your support
you are very welcome!! let me know if there are any questions - happy to help :)
okay
