Common denominators of 9 and 3 are 9. 27
Common denominators of 9 and 2 are 18 36
Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15
- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.
- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.
- Multiply times 5y - 13.
- Substitute for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.
- Multiply 3 times .
- Add to 4y.
- Add to both sides of the equation.
- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
- Substitute 3 for y in . Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.
- Add to by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.
- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
10 is not a multiple of 3 so no 6/10 is not multiples for 3/10 and 6 is not a mutiple of 10 so it can't be also the same with 6/30 although 6/30 is multiples for 3 but 6 is not a mutiple for 10.
