Question

Find the point of intersection of the pair using the method of elimination

x-y = 3
2x + y = 3

Answer 1

If you just add the two equations, the y will be eliminated. Can you do that?

Answer 2

I don't understand what the question is exactly asking

Answer 3

You have to solve for x and y, concluding with an ordered pair of (x,y)

Answer 4

well elimination is where you eliminate one of the variables to be able to solve the equation

Answer 5

Ok Katrina and karate will help you.

Answer 6

Can anybody solve it for me? I don't really get what you're trying to say....

Answer 7

Ok. One min. My explanations will be followed.

Answer 8

add the equations together
(x+2x)+(-y+y)=(3+3)
that should help

Answer 9

Your equations are:
x - y = 3
2x + y = 3

In both equations "-y" from the first equation, and "+y" from the second equation cancel each other out. Understood?

Answer 10

therefore lleaving the equation to be x=3
2x=3

Answer 11

Since they cancel each other,
the equation becomes:
3x = 6

Answer 12

Now lets solve for x.
Divide both sides for 3, which concludes us with the answer
x = 2
Since we have solved for x, our ordered pair would be (2,y)

Answer 13

now you take that 2 and plug it into one of the equations

Answer 14

im going to take the x-y=3 equation
so i plug 2 in for x
2-y=3
subtract 2 on both sides
-y=1
divide by -1 on both sides
y=1

Answer 15

Now, use what you have found as being x= 2, and plug it into your original equation.

Lets plug "2" in the position of "x" in equation one:
x - y = 3
(2) - y = 3
Bring the 2 to the "other side" but substracting it from 3
-y = 3 - 2
-y = 1
Divide by -1
and your answer is
y = -1

Answer 16

Now since you have solved x and y, your coordinates of intersection is (2, - 1)

Answer 17

woops i messed up make that be -1

Answer 18

nice work kat!;) medal timne!!!

Answer 19

That will be your final answer. Any questions?

Thank you so much. God bless <3

Answer 21

KC and KK helping people with math? Has the world turned upside down?

Answer 22

Anytime Waleed =)

Answer 23

@hero what wrong with that? i have always helped people with the math tht i know..

Answer 24

It's when both of you do it together....that's what makes it strange.
