jhonyy9 · Answer

how you think it - do you can writing here one example please ?

jhonyy9 · Answer

2x+3y=4
x+5y=9

solve this system with elimination method

anonymous · Answer

False

jhonyy9 · Answer

@TheDebunker do you understand the question right,correct ?

phagey · Answer

its true?

jhonyy9 · Answer

@phagey how you think it ?

phagey · Answer

true? @jhonyy9

jhonyy9 · Answer

are you sure ? why not can being false ?

phagey · Answer

im really not sure @jhonyy9

jhonyy9 · Answer

2x+3y=4
x+5y=9        

using elimination method you need multiplie or make one variable so that adding them than result zero - in this case multiplie second equation by -2 so will be eliminated the terms with x - yes ?

jhonyy9 · Answer

2x+3y =4
-2x -10y=-18
-------------
 0   -7y = -14 

right ? so how you think it now after you have got this example ?

phagey · Answer

true

jhonyy9 · Answer

2x and -2x how are them not additive inverses ?

jhonyy9 · Answer

yes but than you know anything that is right so you need to be sure indifferent what anybody write wrong answer - ok ,? 

good luck

bye bye
