Trevor solved the system of equations below. What mistake did he make in his work? 2x + y = 5 x − 2y = 10 y = 5 − 2x x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10 x − 10 + 4x = 10 5x − 10 = 10 5x = 0 x = 0 2(0) + y = 5 y = 5 He should have substituted 5 + 2x He combined like terms incorrectly, it should have been 4x instead of 5x He subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding 10 to the right side He made no mistake
so there 5x=20 and not equal zero
ok ?
ok
so what step was the mistake made?
he subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding
ok ?
thank you
If you wanted to eliminate the y variable by adding the two equations in the following system, what could be your first step? x − y = 6 4x − 3y = 12 Add the two equations together Multiply the first equation by −4 Multiply the first equation by 3 Multiply the first equation by −3
good luck yw bye

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations? 4x + 8y = 8 x + 2y = 2 0 2 There is no x value as there is no solution to this system x can be any value as there are infinitely many solutions to this system
so realy by -3 will be right ok ?
ok
so the last your exercise there infinitly many solutions
so can you tell me why ?
because that is what the equation is saying
because if you like solve this by elimination method and multiplie it by indifferent nr just to eliminat one term of them so than will be eliminated the second too
ok ?
ok
than good luck bye
bye
