Question

solve this ststem of equations by using the elimination method:
13x-3y=-50
12x+5y=16

Answer 1

please show work

Answer 2

how do we start elinating stuff?

Answer 3

*eliminating stuff, that is

Answer 4

if i have $5 and want to get rid of it, what should I do?

Answer 5

give it to me?

Answer 6

exactly, I should perform an operation whereby I get rid of it :)

Answer 7

we are adding 2 equations, and we want to add them up so that we get rid of one of the variables so that we aint got to mess with it

Answer 8

please just answer the question, u are getting me confused

Answer 9

this is the answering part ....

Answer 10

listen elimination i can do pretty easily bt the question will go into decimal and hard to solve so betta do by substitution

Answer 11

I like elimination more; less steps

Answer 12

this is the means whereby we encourage you to study up on how the process is performed in order that you may gain a better understanding of the principles involved.

Answer 13

i know how to do substitution, but i want to learn how to do it in elimination

Answer 14

i like cramer myself, it is the culmination of elimination and soo much easier

Answer 15

would you agree that we can multiply or divide an equation and not change its inherent properties?

Answer 16

?

Answer 17

ok multiply the second second eq with .8

Answer 18

then y of both equation will b equal hence they will cancel out

Answer 19

@amistre64 Evenly to both sides, yes. :)

Answer 20

wasiqss, the equations don't necessarily have to be multiplied by decimals

Answer 21

of course ;)

Answer 22

it wud get much higher num then, so easiest is multiply by .8

Answer 23

the foundation to elimination is knowing that scaling an equation doenst change it properties:

3x=9 is the same as 5(3x=9): or simply 15x=45

Answer 24

9.6x+3y=1.28
13x-3y=-50

Answer 25

65x - 15y = -250
36x + 15y = 48

101x = -202
x = -2

y = 8

Answer 26

gud one money bird

Answer 27

thankyou moneybird

Answer 28

I personally hate the elimination method. Setting the equations equal to each other by writing both in terms of y is better.

Answer 29

Morning rld
