Example Question #11 : Solving Systems Of Equations
Solve the systems of equations.
The first step in solving this system of equations is to remove either the term or the term. This is done by multiplying the second equation by .
Now add these two equations together and the terms will be removed.
+
_____________________
Divide both sides of the equation by
Put the value of , which is , into one of the equations to get the value of
Add to both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides by
is the correct answer.
Example Question #12 : Solving Systems Of Equations
Solve this system of equations.
To solve this system of equations, add. This will eliminate or remove the terms.
+
___________________
Divide both sides by
To get the value of replace the variable with the value of that variable in one of the equations.
Subtract from both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by
is the correct answer.
Example Question #131 : Linear Algebra
Solve this system of equations.
To solve this system of equations, subtract the second equation from the first.
____________________________
Now, substitute in the value for x into one of the equations to solve for the value of .
Now subtract five from each side.
Divide both sides by negative 2:
is the correct answer.
Example Question #14 : Solving Systems Of Equations
Solve this system of equations:
To solve this system of equations, set both equations equal to one another.
Add to both sides of the equation.
Subtract from both sides of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by .
Plug the value of , which is into one of the equations to get the value of
is the correct answer for this system of equations.
Example Question #131 : Linear Algebra
Find the value of and that satisfy the equations:
(1)
and
(2).
Step 1: Write the two equations, one below another and line up the terms.
----------------
Step 2: We see that we have and . We can add these two equations up, which will isolate y and let us solve for x.
We add here.
----------------
Step 3: We will isolate x by itself. We need to divide by 2 on both sides to get x.
Step 4: We found x, so we can plug in that value into any one of the two equations and solve for y. Let's choose equation (1).
(1)...
. Isolate y by itself. We are going to subtract 6 from both sides.
. Simplify the left hand side.
Step 5: We will divide by -1 to get the value of y.
The values that solve this system of equations is and .
Example Question #302 : Algebra
Unsolvable
To answer this question you must first solve for one of the variables. This can be done with either variable with either equation. In this example of how to solve the problem we will solve for y using the second equation
subtract 8x from both sides
divide both sides by y
Now we plug this into the first equation for the y variable
Distribute the 3
Simplify
subtract 9 from both sides
divide by -2 on both sides
Using this we solve for y in the second equation
simplify
add 8 to both sides
divide by 4 on both sides
