Question 322627: why is it that in diff places you do not reciprocate the values that you need to eliminate?for example 1x+2y=3
2x+1y=3 then if youre trying to eliminate y or get it it becomes 1(1x+2y=3)
2(2x+1y=3)then becomes x+2=3
4x+2y=6 Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! why is it that in diff places you do not reciprocate the values that you need to eliminate?for example 1x+2y=3
2x+1y=3 then if youre trying to eliminate y or get it it becomes 1(1x+2y=3)
2(2x+1y=3)then becomes x+2=3
4x+2y=6
:
I am not sure what you are trying to say here,
but if you want to solve the following by eliminating y:
:
1x + 2y = 3
2x + 1y = 3
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2 and you have
1x + 2y = 3
4x + 2y = 6
-------------subtracting eliminates y, find x
-3x = -3
x =
x = +1
:
Find y using the 1st equation
1 + 2y = 3
2y = 3 - 1
2y = 2
y =
y = +1
:
Check solution in the 2nd original equation
2(1) + 1 = 3
