pleaseee help...solve the system of equations below using elimination by addition. 5m-n=29 m-5n=-23
do you know what mean elimination by addition ,yes ?
would it be 6
5m-n=29 m-5n=-23 ----------- elimination by addition mean that you multiplie first or second equation by a number so that if you add term by term one from these will be eliminated for example x +3y = 2 2x -y =1 / *3 -------------- for in this case will be eliminated one from x and y so you can multiplie second equation by 3 and will get 6x -3y =3 than will be x +3y =2 6x -3y =3 ------------- adding term by term 7x 0 =5 7x=5 x=5/7 do you understand it now ?
so this was just an example
do you understand it now sure right ? than you can tell me what you can doing with your exercise ?
what equation you need multiplie by how many for will be eliminated one from these terms
5m-n=29 m-5n=-23 so for being eliminated m you need multiplie second equation by how many ?
so you dont like cooperate anything ?
so 5m-5n=52
no i think that you not have understood it nothing from my above example
its loooking for a pair
5m -n =29 m -5n = -23 so now if you check it for eliminate the m adding you need multiplie second equation by -5 so than what will get ?
please try it alone
5m-n=29 m -5n = -23 *(-5) ---
m-5n=-115
will get -5m +25n = 115
how you have got this ?
you need multiplie the both sides
ok ?
so than will be 5m -n =29 -5m +25n =115 ---------------- so than now adding term by term will get ?
20n=115
24n=144
answer is 6
adding will be eliminated the m -n+25n=29 +115 yes now is right
ok than you know that n=6 you need getting again m
5m-n=29 5m-6=29 continue ...
10m-7n=58
no there is 5m - 6=29 calculi from this the m
add to both sides 6 5m-6+6=29+6 5m=35 m=35/5 m=7
ok ?
hope so much that you understand it sure easy good luck was my pleasure bye
so the points would be 6,7 right or 7,6 thank you so much
