Solve using the elimination method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this. x+8y=14 =3x+4y=0
Help Help!!
have you ever tried to solve it yourself? Where do you have problem?
Is the second equation copied correctly?
system is: x+8y=14 3x+4y=0 ok?
ok
i did not mean to put the equal sign in front of second equation
this one i need some help with and yes of coarse i tried on my own. if you do not mind i would greatly appreciate help with this one. Thank you
x+8y=14 3x+4y=0 --- x=14-8y * --- * 3(14-8y)+4y=0 --- * 42-24y+4y=0 --- * -20y=-42 y=2,1 --- x+8(2,1)=14 x+16,8=14 x=-2,8 x=-2,8 y=2,1
solve it the same way we helped you in previous questions... from first equation, you know that x = ###### so you can substitute into second equation 3*(#####) +4y=0 now you know what is y and then you plug y value back to first equation to get what is x
understand?
fontez let him think a little bit...
