I cant seem to find the answer to this can anyone help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, do you know how to do system of equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahbut i cant seem to find the answer i get (4,6) -.- ? @jdoe0001

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

$$ \begin{matrix} 5x &+7y & =32 \\ 8x & +6y & =46 \\ \hline \end{matrix} \text{multiply the 2nd by -1}\\ \begin{matrix} 5x &+7y & =32 \\ 8x & +6y & =46 & \times -1 \\ \hline\\ ? & ? & ? \end{matrix} $$

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

matrix seemed easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the last one... use cramers rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5,1)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

matrix? w000t?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hold on

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

-1 will not the trick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks @drotzmann

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id suggest just testing out the options to see what fits ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, i do suggest using youtube to learn how to do Cramer's Rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg i had totaly forgor that system @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

youtubes super helpful too i also forgot about that too ._. @drotzmann

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha:)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, to cancel out the "y" I'd just do 6 * n = 7 n = 7/6 thus 6 * 7/6 = 7 that gives you a 7y at the bottom, thus cancelling out "y"

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in kindergarten, i was confronted by a hole shaped like a triangle, and 4 blocks oddly shaped blocks. instead of measuring stuff and trying to work out some complicated things ... i just picked up each block till i found the one that fit :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

$$ \begin{matrix} 5x &+7y & =32 \\ 8x & +6y & =46 \\ \hline \end{matrix}\\ \text{multiply the 2nd by -7/6}\\ \begin{matrix} 5x &+7y & =32 \\ -\frac{28}{3}x & -7y & =-\frac{161}{3} & \times \color{blue}{-\frac{7}{6}} \\ \hline\\ ? & 0 & ? \end{matrix} $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 ....one of us is on crack... i have no idea what you are doing. Cramer's Rule is so much more easier

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehhe, yes, because is a 2x2, well, yeah, I gather you'd use that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

three 2x2's to be correct ;)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehe, yes, not sure ... if it'd be .... I guess it depends I mean, off you have to get the discriminant, then 2 more discriminants

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

determinants rather

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup:) exactly
