Answer:
The basic technique to isolate a variable is to “do something to both sides” of the equation, such as add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. By repeating this process, we can get the variable isolated on one side of the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = -3(2) +22
Y = -6 +22
Y = 16
Answer:
(2, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)
x + 2y = 8 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is
- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is
- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting in (2)
x + 2(3) = 8
x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = 2
Solution is (2, 3 )
