Question

11. 3x+2y=1 4x+ 6y= 7

Answer 1

Hello and Welcome to OpenStudy :)

I'm assuming you would like to solve for x and y from those two equations
would you like to use substitution or elimination method?

Answer 2

Solve for y or x

Answer 3

Using the system of the elimination method.

Answer 4

ok :)
then first multiply through the first equation by 3
do you know how to do that?
what would you get?

Answer 5

9x+6y=3 for the first equation

Answer 6

good! :)
then we can line it up like
9x + 6y = 3
4x + 6y = 7 and subtract

Answer 7

x=5

Answer 8

hmm?
9x - 4x = 5x
6y - 6y = 0
3 - 7 = -4

so we get 5x = -4
solve for x from there

Answer 9

thanks

Answer 10

i have one more question on a different problem can you help me

Answer 11

you're welcome :)

then once you get the x, you can plug it back into one of the original equations and solve for y

Answer 12

of course, ask away ^_^

Answer 13

4x+6y=8
2x+3y=3
using elimation

Answer 14

multiply the second equation by 2
subtract

then know the special cases
0=0 is a true statement and means that the two equations are over lapping and share an infinite solutions
0=(any other real number) is a false statement and means that the two equations are parallel and so have no solutions

Answer 15

ok thank you i have having trouble seeing if i was right. you saved my day thanks. Have a great night. ^_-

Answer 16

Glad I could help ^_^ <3
