Solve using any appropriate method
\[A=\frac{ 1 }{ 3}\] \[B=-\frac{ 1 }{ 3}\]
one method (elimination) multiply the second equation by -5 then add to the first. this gives one equation with one unknown. solve for b then substitute to get a
triciaal i've been trying to do elimination but I just never get it right
My answer is right
Thank you Austin :) you where right last time as well,I wish I could help you with your math but it looks scary lol
Yours is easier then mine
D:
another method (substitution) the second equation can be factored 3 is common. using the expression for a substitute in equation 1 and solve for b. use this value of b in the expression for a to get the value.
I know lol Its just a hybrid class and I just got introduced this on friday as in I havent had a lecture for this yet till tomorrow -___- but the hw is due today
Need more help unicorn?
I have one problem left after this one Im just going to try triciaals method first thank you :)
so you want help from triciaal.
mmmmm k
@Austin1617 it's ok to help
I appreciate yours Austin!! But I want to try to figure this out as well. :) thanks a lott seriously
I have a fraction now kill me.
there are at least 4 ways to solve simultaneous equations. the objective for the elimination method is to get rid of one variable. solve the linear equation then substitute to find the other value. to get rid of the variable you choose to eliminate the coefficients must be equal and opposite.
fractions are just pieces-- put them together
I dont get it -_______-
where is the problem? to get rid of the fraction, multiply each term by the lowest common denominator. (LCD)
I know thats what ive been doing even using a calculator to double check and I end up with decimals and stuff im just over it -__-
Tomorrow in lecture hopefully I get it,like i said we havent discussed it its a hybrid class so all questions are asked there
use the natural calculator--no extra points
I got every method down except elimination . substitution is ok
that's the one I use most often. I usually use substitution when the coefficient of one variable is 1.
yeah its easier.
there is matrix and of course graphing
pay attention in class and practice the problems. with practice you will "see" which method is faster for a given problem. Have fun.
