hi! could someone help me out with this asap? I’ve been stuck on these questions and it’s 2 am and my heads hurting LOL
(I’ll put my answered question incase the question doesnt make sense without the equations)
Equation 1:
5(2x - 9y = -8) , multiply Equation 1 by 5 to make x terms eliminate.
New equation 1:
10x - 45y = -40
Equation 2:
2(5x + y = -20) , Multiply equation 2 by 2 to make x-terms eliminate.
New Equation 2:
10x + 2y = -40
i have another pic of the other question but i couldnt put two images so i’ll just put it here.
2) Patricia’s brother, Michael, tells her that the y-terms would be much easier to eliminate than the x-terms, why might this be true?
I’d appreciate it so much if you could help me, thank you and have a good day/night :)
