Finding Variable in an Equation

Solve using Elimination Method:

x - y = 11

2x + y = 19

• (10,-1)

• (-1,10)

• (3,-4)

• (6,7)

Solve using Elimination Method:

4x + 9y = 28

-4x - y = -28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

• (6,7)

Solve the system:

x + 6y = 17

-x + 3y = -8

• (5, 2)

• (11, 1)

• (1, 11)

• no solution

what is the variable that willl be "eliminated"?

5x - 4y = 11

5x + 4y = -14

• x variable

• y variables

• both variables

Find the value of k, if x = - 4, y = - 5 is a solution of the equation: 3x - 4y = K

• K = 6

• K = - 6

• K = 8

• K = - 4

Answer explanation

3x - 4y = K Substituting x = - 4 and y = - 5 in the equation, we get, 3(- 4) - 4(- 5) = K - 12 + 20 = K K = 8 Therefore, the value of K = 8

what would the top equation become when you multiply everything by -1?

• 2x - 6y = 20

• -2x - 6y = -20

• -2x + 6y = 20

• -2x + 6y = -20

4x +  8y = 20
-4x + 2y = -30
Which variable will be eliminated?

• The  x

• The  y

• The  z

• The unknown

5x - 4y = 11

5x + 4y = -14

which variable will be eliminated?

• x

• y

• none!!!!!!!

• both

what is the resulting combined equation for the system below?

• -18x = 18

• y = 18

• 2y= 18

• 18x + 2y = 18

Solve using Substitution (instead of elimination)

• (3,8)

• (8,3)

• (0,2)

• (2,0)
