solve the equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm maybe. Lets see!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to start it off, you have to solve for the equation of a, b, and c first. Ill do the first equation. One question. Are you you doing elimination/substitution in your class right now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2A+3B-2C=0 -3B -3B ___________________________ 2A-2C=-3B +2C +2C _______________________ 2A= -3B+2C \[\frac{ 2A }{ 2 }=\frac{ -3B+2C }{ 2 }=A=\frac{ -3 }{ 2}B+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thats great. We'll be using a lot of substitution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand what I did above?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

you have 2 equations and 3 unknowns - so this cannot be solved. generally if you have N unknowns, then you need N equations to get a unique solution.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

uless you have been asked to find just the integer solutions?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

*unless

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i also think that cant be solve what u r trying to do u have 3 variables ans just 2 equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thats the equation for A. We'll substitute that for A is the original equation. Next were gonna find B. 2(-3/2B+C)+3B-2C=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3B+2C=0 -2C -2C -------------- -3B=-2C \[\frac{ -3B }{ -3}=B =\frac{ -2 }{ -3 }C=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }C\] SO B= \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now were gonna plug that into the original. 2A+3B-2C=0 2(-3/2B+C)+3(2/3C)-2C=0 -3B+2C+2C-2C=0 -3B+2C=0 +3B +3B ____________________ 2C=3B C=3/2B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think thats all we can do here, we cant solve for variables.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i wanna appreciate ur efforts that u have solved my sum though it can;t be solved as everyone said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) Thanks! Have a good one!
