Solving systems using the addition method, will medal and give coins.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

What number would I need to multiply the first equations by to get the x's to add out? I got 6 for number 1 is this correct? 1.) 2x+3y=8 -6x+4y=11 2.)3x-y=3 -2x+2y=6

that should help you /www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-eighth-grade-math/cc-8th-systems-topic/cc-8th-systems-elimination/v/addition-elimination-method-1

Directrix (directrix):

Do you have two systems of equations problems posted?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Yes, at the top

> I got 6 for number 1 is this correct? I don't understand what you mean by this. ^^^

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Like for my answer I got 6 to multiply it by.

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

If you multiply the first equation by 6, you will get: 12x + 18y = 48 No way are the x terms going to add out when the second equation x term is -6x 12x - 6x do not add to 0.

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you possibly help me do 5 problems?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

i'll repost each

Directrix (directrix):

2x + 3y = 8 --Multiply by 3 -- 6x + 9y = 24 -6x + 4y = 11 -6x + 4y =11 --------------------------------------------- 13y = 35 The x terms added out.
