3y - x = a

To solve for y we isolate the y variable.

3y = x + a
y = (x + a)/3

8f - 25 = 47. Add 25 to both sides.

8f = 72. Divide each side by 8.

f = 9.

In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given <u>system of equations</u>:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations <u>sum to zero</u>. To do this, the chosen variable must have the <u>same coefficient</u>, but it should be <u>negative</u> in one equation and <u>positive</u> in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is <u>eliminated</u>.

<u>To eliminate the </u><u>variable y</u>:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 to make the coefficient of the y variable -6:

$\implies 2(3x-3y=15) \implies 6x-6y=30$

Add the two equations together to <u>eliminate y</u>:

$\begin{array}{l r r}& -12x+6y= &-21\\+ & 6x-6y= & 30\\\cline{1-3}& -6x\phantom{))))))} = & 9\end{array}$

<u>Solve</u> for x:

$\implies -6x=9$

$\implies x=-\dfrac{9}{6}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

<u>Substitute</u> the found value of x into one of the equations and <u>solve for y</u>:

$\implies 3\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)-3y=15$

$\implies -\dfrac{9}{2}-3y=15$

$\implies -3y=\dfrac{39}{2}$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{39}{2 \cdot 3}$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{13}{2}$
